Spinach, Basil, Grape, Dragon Fruit.
AND i found another plat, able to evolve, my Bluebell. Check the photos.
Could it, perhaps, be that I had some harvested units in my inventory, which were of "nice" quality already?
And by planting, it sort of automatically starts at the 'normal' quality, but evolves almost right away, because it's harvested in a 'nice' quality?

@Liteblob I can say for sure that if you harvest from an evolved plant, the harvest retains the quality. So if you plant a nice quality seed, it should start as a nice quality plant.
I did some more testing and found that I wasn't able to evolve any veggies in plant boxes. However, I did get the option when I moved them to the ground. I still was not able to evolve any trees including apple, plaintain, avocado, coconut and plasma fruit. I also was not able to evolve the bluebell for some reason so I tried some other flowers. I was not able to evolve daisy or rose either but I was able to evolve a begonia.
Even though I can't be sure, I don't think there's a bug here. It seems we have the ability to evolve some plants in a planted state but not others. I have no idea why though.

When you mentioned the difference between the ground vs the plant boxes, it might be an important detail that these particular plants AND trees are in the new ... 'gardening plots' that came with the new expansion Cottage Living.
- crinrict4 years agoHero+@Liteblob There's an issue that plants revert to dirt piles when they shouldn't. That can lead to evolve on dirt piles.
Did yours ever revert ?
From the description it sounds like they are all newly planted but the dirt pile bug might play into this.- 4 years ago@crinrict Newly planted. Built the whole lot from scratch, moved in the sims and made her plant all those veggies and fruits.
Btw, come to think of it, she bought the seed packets new, so @JonaO703 on the part where they might have been the harvest of a nice plant before: this was NOT the case. These were newly bought seed packs.- JonaO7034 years agoHero
@Liteblob Well, I caved and got CoL ... and it's all your fault! ;-) Half-joking. So, to clarify, all the plants I've tested so far are newly planted, never sprouted plants. Once CoL finished downloading and I could get back in the game, I went in and tested these plants again using both plain and mounded garden patches. Nothing changed. All the veggies tested had the option to evolve in planted/dirt pile state. None of the trees had the option, neither did some of the flowers; bluebell, daisy, orchid and rose. The flowers that did have the option were christmas rose, chrysanthemum, dahlia, begonia and chamomile.
Since it sort of sounds like the dirt pile bug only involves plants that had sprouted and reverted back to dirt pile, I'm still not convinced this is a bug. I tried looking for related articles or posts but was unable to find anthing. I do believe that trees were not meant to evolve while in the planted / dirt pile state while some of the other plants can. However, the reason for this eludes me.
