I have planted a money tree from my aspiration points, It grows , but never offers the option of harvesting. Then suddenly out of the blue, they revert back to a dirt pile. SUCH A WAIST
OF 5000 Aspiration points. Very disappointed
Money trees take a very long time to grow. I think they need 240 hours from planting to maturity, which is at least 10 days, but remember that time only counts toward growth while the lot is the active lot. It could be much longer if you spend a lot of time on other lots. Also keep in mind that plants only produce a harvest on the active lot and only at 5 a.m. If you aren't on the lot at 5 a.m. you won't get a harvest that day.
There's an easy fix for plants that revert to dirt piles. Open the cheat console, use testingCheats on, then shift-click the plant, go to Gardening State/Growth Stage, and choose Blossoming. You should get a harvest at 5 a.m.
My current Sim has one money tree and it consistently produces a harvest of 5 money fruit worth 22,225 at Perfect quality. However, the money fruit can only be sold, not harvested, and that's intended behavior. The tree is always In Season.
