Re: how long does it take the crystal tree to evolve?

@StuStuie out of all the plants I found this took the longest to Evolve and I've seen that mentioned by other players too. But if you have Cats and Dogs I found that when I was experimenting with fertiliser I got the best results with doggy waste. Keep fertilising it in between stages too. It needs fertilising very regularly.

One of my Sims dogs got sick and left a golden "gift" for her and when I used that as fertiliser it Evolved instantly.

Edit: I feel I should add a "be careful what you wish for" because once the tree reaches Magnificent status it probably will start regularly reverting to a dirt pile. If that happens the crystals may be left suspended in mid air. Just go into Build Mode and put it in your inventory then back again. The crystals should appear in your inventory instead of in mid air. It will always grow back again... but slowly!
