Start with one Seed.
An eligible NFTree gives you access to a garden slot. Plant a separate Seed for the season, then care for it through daily visits.

LEARN THE GAME. PLAN YOUR GARDEN.
Welcome to
Arboretum.
Make every watering count. Build your garden, choose your tools and compete for a share of the seasonal SUI Growth Pool.
Public gameplay is not open yet. Explore the handbook now. Final prices, balancing and launch rules will be announced before opening.
Turn care into Growth Points.
Water when ready and use tools with a purpose. Your eligible points relative to everyone else’s determine your share under the season’s reward rules.
01 / GET STARTED
What do I need to buy first?
An NFTree, a planted Seed and a crate are three different things. Here is the order.
Choose an eligible NFTree.
Your NFTree is the access NFT. Each eligible NFTree supports one active Seed slot, up to eight slots per garden. Keep the associated NFTree in the wallet you use to play.
Explore the NFTree collection ↗Make the separate planting payment.
When gameplay opens, connect your Sui wallet, open My Garden, select your NFTree and confirm planting. Planting creates the seasonal Seed you will care for; buying the NFT alone does not plant it.
Add tools to your strategy.
A crate gives you tools when you open it. Tools can boost growth, build streaks, provide protection or help recovery. You do not need a crate to plant your first Seed.
Leave room for network fees.
Gameplay purchases use SUI. Keep enough SUI for the planting payment and network fees, plus any optional purchases. Check the displayed total before approving each transaction.
Eligible NFTree → Separate planting payment → Care for your Seed → Optional tools
You can begin with one Seed. Eight slots are a maximum, not a required purchase. Opening a crate does not plant, water or automatically apply its contents.
02 / THE DAILY LOOP
A few decisions. Every visit.
Keep the garden active without buying something every day.
See what each Seed needs.
Open My Garden and review the status, next-watering countdown and active effects on each card. Seeds have individual timers, so some may be ready before others.
Apply the right tool first.
A watering boost needs to be applied before the watering you want it to improve. Instant-point tools work differently. Check the selected Seed and read the tool’s effect.
Water when ready.
Use Water for one Seed or Water Ready Seeds for eligible Seeds. Review the wallet request, approve the action and wait for confirmation before repeating it.
Watch your progress.
Check Growth Points, watering streaks and remaining tool uses. Visit Rewards to see the season’s pool and your changing projected share.
How do timing and streaks work?
The current ordinary watering design uses an interval of about 21 hours 36 minutes, rather than a midnight reset. Use the readiness countdown for the Seed you are watering; timer-changing tools can affect its schedule.
Consistent watering builds a streak. Missing days can reset that streak, and leaving an unprotected Seed too long can lead to wilting and death. A dead Seed can lose its accumulated Growth Points; revival does not restore points that were removed.
Protection is for the selected Seed, not automatically the whole garden. Check its expiry and do not treat a reminder or a protection item as a promise of automatic point earning.
Are growth stages the same as rewards?
No. Growth stages show your Seed’s progress. They are not the same as its age, a leaderboard rank or a claim deadline. Reaching Season Harvest does not allow you to claim before the season closes.
03 / BUILD YOUR LOADOUT
Find the tool for your next move.
Explore all 20 tool designs by effect and timing. Final launch balancing and application limits will be published before public play.
One use is one application—not one watering.
For example, applying Fertilizer once adds three future boosted waterings to one Seed. That spends one tool use. Any remaining uses stay on the item. Check the uses shown on your owned tool; the same item can have different use counts depending on where it came from.
20 tools shown
Fertilizer
- What it does
- Adds +50% to the next 3 waterings on one Seed.

Compost
- What it does

Mulch
- What it does
- Provides a short protection window for one Seed.
- When to use it
- Before time away or a dry period.
- Play it wisely

Rain Barrel
- What it does
- Refreshes one live Seed’s last-watered timer.
- When to use it
- Before the Seed dies.

- When to use it
- Before an eligible watering.
- Play it wisely
- Check dryness first: a missed-day streak reset can overwrite the boost.
Sunstone

- Adds points, not water or protection.
Revival Kit
- What it does

- The Seed returns alive with its streak restarted. Points removed on death are not restored.
Double Dose
- What it does
- Prepares one 2× watering and 2 future +50% boosted waterings.
- When to use it
- Before watering.
- Play it wisely
- The doubling and one +50% boost can affect the same next watering. The remaining boost stays queued.
Drought Shield
- What it does
- Provides longer-duration protection for one Seed.
- When to use it
- Before a longer dry period.
- Play it wisely
- Check its expiry and existing protection before applying another protection item.

- When to use it
- Before watering, with enough season time left to use them.
- Play it wisely
- These waterings join the same boost counter as Fertilizer.
Earth Core
- What it does
- Adds 5 future +50% boosted waterings.
- When to use it
- Before watering.
- Play it wisely
- Its described growth effect is the same as Moon Water, not a separate permanent stat increase.
Bottomless Can
- What it does
- Provides timed protection for one selected Seed.
- When to use it
- Before time away.
- Play it wisely
- Automatic watering is not a confirmed launch feature. Plan around the protection expiry rather than unattended point earning.
Philosopher’s Soil
- What it does
- Adds 10 future +50% boosted waterings.
- When to use it
- Preferably early enough in the season to use the full effect.
- Play it wisely
- More future waterings does not mean a higher percentage on each watering.

- What it does
- Adds 5 to a live Seed’s streak and refreshes its last-watered timer.
- When to use it
- Check the Seed’s readiness before applying.
- Play it wisely
- Can change when manual watering is ready. It is not a new planted Seed or a revival tool.
Crystal Water
- What it does
- Prepares one 2× watering and 9 future +50% boosted waterings.
- When to use it
- Before watering.
- Play it wisely
- Shares the next-watering doubling effect with Miracle Grow and Double Dose. Do not assume doublings queue.
Forest Heart
- What it does
- Adds +5 base Growth Points to each future valid watering on the selected Seed.
- When to use it
- Early in a season, on a Seed you plan to maintain.
- Play it wisely
- The effect belongs to that Seed, not every Seed in your wallet. It does not promise next-season carryover.
No tools match. Clear your search or choose another purpose.
04 / PLAY WITH A PLAN
Timing makes a difference.
More boosted waterings, not a bigger percentage.
Fertilizer adds three +50% waterings; Watering Boost adds one. Together they prepare four boosted waterings, not one +100% watering.
Check for a doubling already queued.
Miracle Grow, Double Dose and Crystal Water share a next-watering doubling effect. Do not assume applying another gives you two separate doubled waterings.
Match the tool to the season.
A tool that supports many future waterings is most useful when you have time left to use them. An instant-point item has a different role from a longer-running boost.
Protect or revive?
Protection helps before a Seed dies. A Revival Kit is for recovery. A growth tool is not a substitute for a revival action on a dead Seed.
05 / KNOW WHAT YOU ARE OPENING
Choose your crate by its role.
Buy a crate, open it to receive tools, then choose which tools to apply. A higher tier changes the tool mix—it does not guarantee a larger SUI payout.
Starter boost
Seedling
A simple entry into common tools and the item loop.
Daily helper
Grove
A common-tool mix for ongoing garden support.
Broader support
Canopy
A mix of common and uncommon tools.
Premium toolkit
Ancient
A mix including rare tools for a wider strategy.
High-tier selection
Mythic
A higher-tier mix with a Legendary tool in its current design.
BOOM Chest · Growth focus
A focused selection built around Ancient Bark, Sunstone and Double Dose, with Forest Heart or Growth Tonic in its additional selection. It supports Growth Point strategy; it does not plant a Seed.
Victory Chest · Protection & recovery
A selection built around Drought Shield, Rain Barrel and Mulch, with Bottomless Can or Revival Kit in its additional selection. Do not assume a Revival Kit is guaranteed.
What is a Supply Drop?
A Supply Drop offers a featured tool directly rather than a mixed crate. Check the featured item, its uses and its current price. Buying the item does not automatically apply it to a Seed.
The launch shop will show the final price, guaranteed contents, use counts and any bonus odds before purchase. This handbook does not present temporary prices or provisional drop rates as final launch terms.
06 / GROW THE COMMUNITY
Your invites. Your rewards.
Share your own invite link so eligible direct activity can be attributed to you.
Earn 10%
When a direct invite plants through your link.
Earn 1%
When your direct invites buy crates in the Item Shop.
When gameplay opens, use Copy Invite Link in the game’s Rewards / Invites area, share that link and review the referral activity displayed there.
These rates apply to eligible direct-referral activity under the game’s rules. They are not interest on your holdings, do not pay for clicks alone and do not describe a multi-level referral reward.
07 / THE SEASONAL COMPETITION
How the SUI Growth Pool works.
The Growth Pool is the funded SUI pool players compete to share. Eligible gameplay payments contribute to it under the season’s allocation rules. Your eligible Growth Points are compared with the total eligible points of all players.
Your eligible Growth Points ÷ Total eligible Growth Points = Your pool share
Your pool share × Funded distributable SUI pool = Reward, subject to the season’s rules.
Your pool share × Funded distributable SUI pool = Reward, subject to the season’s rules.
Show me a simple example.
With 100 eligible points out of 1,000 total eligible points, your share would be 10%. If the season’s distributable pool were 50 SUI, that share would be 5 SUI before any applicable rounding.
Those are illustrative numbers, not a live balance or an earnings forecast. During a season, points and the funded pool can both change.
When do I claim?
Claims follow the completed season’s rules. Check the Rewards screen for the close time, eligibility and claim deadline. A projected amount during play is not a finalized entitlement.
The public-launch claim window and final settlement rules will be published before participation opens. This guide does not promise an unlimited claim window or an automatic payout.
Rewards are not guaranteed to cover the cost of an NFTree, planting, crates, tools or network fees.
08 / NFTREE PRIVILEGES
Your rarity. More ways to grow.
PLANNED FOR LAUNCH
Qualifying paid Ancient and Mythic purchases are planned to include one additional holder-bonus tool. The default Holder Growth Boost prepares future waterings at +50% on a selected Seed. Higher NFTree rarity provides more boosted waterings.
| NFTree rarity | Ancient crate | Mythic crate |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 1 | 2 |
| Rare | 2 | 4 |
| Epic | 3 | 6 |
| Legendary | 4 | 8 |
| Mythic | 5 | 10 |
| One of One | 6 | 12 |
One qualifying purchase provides one selected bonus—not a bonus for every NFT in the wallet. Where available, a one-use Miracle Grow or Double Dose may be selected instead of the default boost. The choices will be shown at checkout.
These privileges are not active in the public game. They add no immediate points and do not water automatically. The existing NFTree’s artwork and rarity are not changed.
09 / QUICK ANSWERS
Before you enter the garden.
Can I read the guide without connecting a wallet?
Yes. This handbook is public. No wallet, NFT purchase or access code is required to read it. Gameplay remains restricted until public opening.
Do I have to buy something every day?
No. Daily care is about reviewing your Seeds, watering when ready and making use of the tools you choose to hold. Crates are optional; wallet actions can still incur network fees.
Can I use TREE for purchases?
The documented gameplay purchase path uses SUI. TREE checkout is not an available payment option described by this handbook. Do not send TREE manually expecting a Seed, crate or tool.
What happens if I sell or transfer my NFTree?
Keep the associated NFTree in the wallet you use for its Seed. Losing that access can prevent garden actions. Do not assume transferring an NFT also transfers a Seed’s points or a reward entitlement.
What if a purchase does not appear immediately?
Wait for confirmation and refresh your inventory before purchasing again. Check the connected wallet and current season. A delayed screen update is not a reason to approve the same purchase twice.
What is still being finalized?
Public opening, final prices, crate odds, tool balancing and application limits, and season-end claim terms will be announced before public play. Rarity bonuses are labeled as planned. Automatic watering for Bottomless Can is not a confirmed launch feature.
