The Giant Black Cherry tree is one of my favorites too. For a while there, the normal sized one was popping out of the Mystery Seedlings but I never managed to get one but getting the giant one was almost just as satisfying.

And hell yeah, those Candy Cane foals are awesome! I got my first one a two weeks ago and I was insanely happy. But I've never seen the Silkie or the Super Chicken either, which is a damn shame since I love Silkies...

I know it's not like I don't have other purple trees, but I wanted that purple tree! I'm kind of glad it's a giant one, though, because it's not actually that huge (not like the giant bubble gum tree or the giant heart candy tree) yet still big enough to actually be seen over some stuff. I wonder if the normal sized one is still possible to get...? Because, seriously, it's like Pokemon. I have to have one of every one!

What really kills me about the chickens is that I was probably playing at the time of those events, but I didn't know to collect them and wasn't playing with very many neighbors at the time, so I wouldn't have lucked into them. Now they just taunt me. And I doubt they'll bring them back around again next year? ;__;

They've actually rereleased a lot of items but then there are the ones that have never come back so who knows if they'll ever show up again? It seems like every time it happens, the people who originally paid for them originally seem to get pissed off that people are getting a chance to get them without having to use Farmcash so I would assume they'll try to avoid it as much as possible.

I haven't seen the normal sized Black Cherry tree since the first day or two when it was released, back when the Mystery Seedlings they produced was the Rainer Cherry tree... After that, the Giant Black Cherry was released so I'm guessing it's not possible to get the normal one from the Mystery Seedlings anymore.

I do think they're in sort of an impossible situation there--I can understand why people who paid farm cash would be upset, because I would be, too, knowing that I could have just waited awhile to get it without spending cash on one. I wish they'd say ahead of time which items are going to come back later, but you can still get them now if you want, just that you have to pay farm cash right away or else wait. That's about the only happy medium I can think of. (Though, to be honest, I doubt I would ever spend farm cash on an animal or tree, since you already get so many of the really cute ones just through normal giveaways and holiday collections. It's impossible to collect absolutely everything, so why bother trying?)

Hmm. Well, as long as I can get a back cherry tree, I think I should be satisfied, even if I do kind of want both. >_> Though, I wonder if there's going to be a whole new set of trees for the English Countryside (and I'll have to start my collection all over orz) or if we'll still be dealing with the same ones?

If they said ahead of time when a limited item will come back, they won't have as many people desperately using their farm cash to buy them or spending as much time playing FarmVille trying to get at the limited item...which will end up hurting them so I don't think that could work either.

I hope there will be new trees. I don't see a point in there not being new ones, especially since there are a bunch of a new animals and crops. Besides, there are probably a number of trees that just don't belong in an English Countryside. With a theme like that, wouldn't it be weird to see a Longan tree? Or a Malayan Coconut?

I keep thinking that those people would then spend that farm cash on something else or, if it was a limited time item, things would be balanced out by more people buying those, rather than taking a chance it might come back later. But I suppose you're right and they make their real money off people splurging immediately.

Well, I already think it's weird to see any kind of palm tree on a farm, but I suppose they're meant to go with the desert theme, if you want. And you're right, I hope that they have a new set of trees, even if you can only use them on that farm. Which makes me wonder how the news feed is going to work, will items be applicable on both farms? What about fuel? I assume that fuel tanks on each farm will be separate? Where does the fuel go if you pick something up? To the last farm you were working on? I'm SUPER CURIOUS to see how this all works!

Oh my god, I didn't even think about the fuel part of it! I'm not going to have a huge stash of goods already crafted to draw upon! Or will I? o.O I hope they up the Gift Box limit if only some items can only be used on a particular farm rather than the others... I already have trouble enough keeping under the limit with just one farm, two would be insane.

If they're making what's basically two separate farms, why are they using the gift box for both farms? Which they must be doing because they keep telling everyone to stock up on SDs/building materials. (I would really like at least 1,000 limit, but ideally more like Cityville's 2,000 limit. *___*) I don't mind the idea of starting over with a second set of fuel (well, I can't say I'm thrilled, either, but...) but how is that going to work when you collect crafting goods off your news feed? Because I use those a lot!
