You can obtain pine cones in Animal Crossing by shaking fully grown cedar trees during the appropriate season.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Cedar Trees: Pine cones only fall from cedar trees. These trees have a distinct, pointed shape, making them easy to distinguish from regular hardwood trees.
-
Shaking: Walk up to a fully grown cedar tree and press the 'A' button to shake it. Keep shaking until pine cones (and potentially other items like branches or wasp nests) fall down.
-
Season: Pine cones are typically available during the fall months (September to December in the Northern Hemisphere, March to June in the Southern Hemisphere).
-
Persistence: It may take a few shakes or even trying multiple cedar trees to find pine cones. They don't always drop on the first try.
Keep an eye out for those cedar trees during the fall months and start shaking! You'll need pine cones for crafting seasonal DIY recipes.
