Stardew Valley creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone recently ran a poll asking the game's player base what fruit tree it would like to see added to the popular farming simulator and bananas managed to take out a narrow victory against mango, avocado, and passionfruit.
To celebrate, Barone showed off a picture of a Stardew player avatar holding a banana high above their head on Twitter and also noted how mango was the runner-up. Could it be the next tree added to the game?
While there's no word about exactly when version 1.5 of Stardew Valley will be rolled out, Barone was happy to explain to a player the process behind adding new items and crops:
Once you've coded the framework for items & crops, most of the work to add new ones is drawing the art and putting in the data (price, etc.). However, in order for new content to be fun it usually has to be part of a meaningful bigger-picture... that's where the real work is
Is banana your pick of the bunch? Leave a comment below.

Bananas are the worst though.
Donkey Kong is pleased.
Now we just need peanuts and a peanut butter recipe and I can make my grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
...I might be very hungry right now... ^^;
All for more crops in the game. I've done 3 farms and it always ends up feeling kinda "samey" in the late game.
Still love the game though!
@MasterGraveheart A peanut butter, honey, and banana sandwich sounds so good right now...
Off to brew a second infusion of Sencha green tea to curb that craving!
His framework is seriously impressive for a solo coder. Not enough praise is heaped on him for creating that solid a base to lay updates on top of. It also makes mods easy to develop too.
I wonder if they’ll work like real banana plants, or fantasy “banana trees”.
@Eel I'd have to guess they will just work like other fruit trees but provide some new crafting recopies for artisan goods.
Awesome sauce!
Now then...when is it Animal Crossing's turn?
@BenAV you crazy
@Heavyarms55 It’d be nice to see a game use a more accurate representation of the life of a banana plant. The ones that have them seem to think they’re like apple trees.
@BenAV Donkey Kong says otherwise
Give us this in AC:NH ffs. It’s a tropical island. Bananas should be present!
@Eel hahah I thought they were trees. But I don’t eat them anyway
Everyday is a school day
Got a farm I play on with 2 other friends, it’s amazing this game keeps getting updates, love the dedication concerned ape has for it. @MasterGraveheart that makes me think of Elvis Presley, delicious!
I hope Eric remembers they grow upwards
Been loving Stardew while stuck in quarantine. Looking forward to the update
@Corum Funny story? I tried making them before I heard about Elvis doing the same. Now I joke that he ripped /me/ off, even though he died (or went home, if you're a Men in Black fan) years before I was even born... ^^;
Incoming DK DLC confirmed
