The tree is chopped but only the bark comes off. Mine say 1.5 days to next harvest.

Mine was ready as soon as I put it on the farm.

You use the axe or chainsaws but they don't get chopped down they just have the bark stripped

I just got one and "chopped" it and it says 1.6 days which I guess means 40 hours using the "old" 20 hour day maths.

Just want to clarify something about the cork oak tree. They are "harvested", but you must use the AXE or LOG TRUCK with CHAIN SAW. They do not disappear down to the stump, like the other "chopped" trees, but remain standing.

So, don't try to use your tree harvester or sickle.

Also, before anyone else asks.....the cork oak trees are available as gifts only.

Really am enjoying the new update. I may read enough to figure out the new sprinkler, and I ALWAYS WAIT at least a few hours, if not days before purchasing new tools, just to let the expected glitches get ironed out. And yes, there will almost always be a few glitches, but the devs work on this quickly and respond (no not here on the forum, just by getting everything straightened out).

I do have a concern, and saw an earlier post about this. I exchanged some gifts for the Clydesdale Horse. The graphics are much better than some of our other animals, but he (she) is WAY too big in my opinion. They just about dwarf the barns and stables. And unless our other horses are Shetland ponies, these are way out of proportion. Clydesdales are very large horses, but not 3 or 4 times bigger than an average Appaloosa, Morgan or Quarter Horse.

Do you think there is a possibility that they could be tweaked just a little and made a wee bit smaller??

Thanks for reading and considering the request!!

Figure you have the answer to this by now, but just in case you don't...

You are right, the cork oak trees are gifts only. And it is just a little confusing about their "harvest". You use the AXE or LOG TRUCK with CHAIN SAW to "harvest" them, but they remain standing after the cork is "stripped". Unlike the other trees that we "chop", these don't go down to the stump until they regrow.

And the harvest is 1.6 days (40 hours, just like the cinnamon & cedar trees that are "chopped")

Hope that helps!!
