Spring

Spring in the Animal Crossing series is a season that starts on February 25 and ends on May 31. In the southern hemisphere in New Horizons, spring starts on August 25 and ends on November 30. Signs of spring begin to show at the end of winter, when the trees begin to turn green.

The setting of spring consists mainly of clear skies and slight rain showers may appear. After February 25 / August 25, grass begins to appear and trees start to go green. Snow is no more as rain takes over and becomes the dominant weather system for much of the season. However, seasonal bugs and fish related to spring do not appear until March 1st / September 1st. Additionally, the grass will appear greenish-brown, similar to in Fall, until March 1. Thunderstorms can occur as early as March / September, but they are infrequent.

A special occasion occurs during the first few days of April / October, where every non-fruit hardwood tree leaf changes to cherry-blossom petals. Days later, the player will witness a confetti of cherry blossom petals falling from the sky. In New Horizons, the player may catch these petals for DIY projects.

In New Horizons, all bamboo trees will produce Young Spring Bamboo when chopped with an axe. These may be used for DIY projects.
