FarmVille New Years Tree: Confetti Tree

Personally, we love the now frequent additions of extremely unique, or otherwise impossible-in-the-real-world trees that have been released in FarmVille over the past few weeks. Keeping with this new in-game theme of sorts is tonight's release of the Confetti Tree, a bright, colorful tree that has been released as part of the New Years theme of limited edition items.

The Confetti Tree costs 5 Farm Cash to add to your farm, and can be harvested once every 2 days. You'll gain just 15 experience points for purchasing the tree, but you'll also make 150 coins each and every time you harvest it (of course, the tree grows colorful clusters of confetti).

As of this writing, the rumors surrounding this tree are that if you add this level 1 Confetti Tree to an Orchard on your farm, you'll have a chance to spawning a level 2 Disco Ball Tree as a Mystery Seedling. We'll be sure to confirm or deny this as more information becomes available, but either way, Disco Ball Trees have begun showing up as Mystery Seedlings, so make sure to collect all that you see your friends posts on your news feed!

The Confetti Tree will be available in the game for the next 21 days, and for those that are still on a holiday kick, it can be decorated with Lights and Snow once you purchase it. The tree is masterable, with the first star of mastery being available after 75 harvests.

FarmVille Fairy Garden Items: Fairy Tree, Fairy Pink Horse, Overgrown Manor and more

I have to admit: When the Fairy Garden theme launched in FarmVille, I didn't expect it to turn into the large event that it has. That growth continues this evening, as tonight's game update sees an (expensive) new set of items being released in the store. Why expensive? There are only two items in the update that go for coins, so I hope you have some Farm Cash sitting around, or your credit card standing by. As usual, we'll give you a complete rundown of the game's newest items, so let's get started.

Trees

    Fairy Tree - 7 Farm Cash
    Giant Fairy Tree - 15 Farm Cash


As you'd expect, the Giant Fairy Tree is the level 2 tree of the pair, allowing you to earn one or more of them for free just by growing your own Mystery Seedlings, or claiming those posted by friends on their walls. Full mastery for both of these trees comes at 75, 150 and 225 harvests each, for each of the three stars, so keep that in mind if you're new to the tree mastery "scene."

Animals

    Fairy Vine Pig - 18 Farm Cash
    Fairy Pink Horse - 26 Farm Cash


Depending on when you check your game, the prices of these animals might be different, as Zynga tries to settle into the proper price to earn the most money (sorry, but it really does all boil down to that). If you see these animals for what looks like a "really cheap" price, jump on them while you can.

Buildings

    Overgrown Manor - 30 Farm Cash
    Dark Thatched Hut - 20 Farm Cash


The Overgrown Manor is a particularly striking item, as it fits its name with vines growing down the roof, along with tons of trees and flowers growing along the outside. Quite a pretty building, I must say.

Decorations

    Magic Rings II - 2 Farm Cash
    Leaves Fountain - 15 Farm Cash
    Pebble Stone Pond - 100,000 coins
    Entranced Tree - 8 Farm Cash
    Purple Flax Leaves - 4,000 coins



And, here you have it - the two coin items in tonight's release: a fairly large pond, admittedly, along with a small purple plant. Sure, these items are lovely, but I can't be the only one that's a bit disappointed at the meager selection of non-premium items, can I?

What do you think of tonight's Fairy Garden item release? Are there any items you're going to immediately buy, regardless of the price, or will you hold off until you think about it longer?
