FarmVille: Mint Candy Tree now available, but there's a catch

As we reported a few days ago, the Mint Candy Tree was then an unreleased tree that we expected would be released in FarmVille in the near future. It turns out that the future is now, as technically speaking, the tree is now available to purchase in the game's store. It's listed as a regular, permanent addition to the store, so your best bet at easily finding it is to sort the tree area of the store by "Name (A-Z)."

Once you've found the tree, you'll see that you can purchase this level 2 tree for 30 Farm Cash. However, the image associated with the tree is entirely wrong, as you can see from the picture to the right (the tree in that picture appears to be a Granny Smith Apple Tree). The actual Mint Candy Tree looks like the image below:

To save yourself some Farm Cash (and some headache), it is believed that this new tree will actually be available as Mystery Seedlings produced when placing a Sugar Plum Tree in one of your orchards, but that tree has yet to be released in the game, so we can't confirm this rumor as of this time.

All of that being said, it's up to you whether or not you'd like to risk purchasing one of these trees early, before Zynga has a chance to fix the many issues associated with it. Was the tree released early by mistake? Is there just a glitch in the system that no one seems to have noticed yet? It's presumable that Zynga will allow those users that purchase the tree to keep it once they've fixed it, but in the off chance that they have to remove those purchased trees from the game, we'd suggest waiting until they have sorted everything out before spending the premium currency.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: European Pear & Cherry Plum Trees

It looks as though two new trees will be coming to FarmVille as early as this weekend, as we've come across unreleased images of both trees in their harvest-ready state, along with mastery signs proving that Zynga is in fact working on them for future release.

The trees are the European Pear Tree and the Cherry Plum Tree. It should be noted that as these trees are so different from each other visually, we doubt that one will be the Mystery Seedling of the other, so could there be two other trees waiting to be discovered out there? Perhaps a giant version of both?

While it's presumable that at least the European Pear Tree will be in the current English Countryside limited edition theme, anything is possible at this point, so make sure to keep checking back with us, as we let you know whether you'll be able to place these trees on your Home Farm, your English Countryside farm, or both.

In the meantime, let us know how much you'd be willing to pay for these trees in the comments. 5 Farm Cash? 10 Farm Cash? Or, would you rather they be available for coins?
