Rare and uncommon harvestables will now be produced at higher rates when splicing.
So we actually got this changed in Patch 1.58.63

For example, grafting a rose to a grape for bonsai buds will have the plant produce roses OR grapes OR bonsai buds, with the bonsai buds having the lowest chance.
So if you're not seeing the new harvestable, I think it might just be a case of bad luck 🙂
My issue with this change is it also lowers the change of getting other things that depend on having one of the spliced harvestables.

I like the five step evolution idea in the upgraded gardening system but thought it was supposed to make things easier.
Not happening and leads to frustration.
EA Staff (Retired)@EuphorialQueen Rare seed packets, available in Build/Buy, were added to help with this. 🙂

I understand the intent of the rare packets. ❤️ I am grateful they are available. Getting ONE Bonsai Bud /maybe/ for 250 simoleons or worse paying 1000 simoleons for two magic beans .. ?
I love this game and I am not going anywhere. I just don't want it to be impossible to complete certain goals within the limits set by the game.
I have spent thousands on these seed packets and still have three harvestables to go that I would normally get by splicing. Most of the other changes made gardening more fun, less grind. I’m sorry, but I can’t understand the thinking behind this decision.
