Introduction
Before reading this guide it is recommended that you check out my other guide on the gameplay basics so you can become familiar with some of the terms here used.
Easy achievements
Trunk Whacker
[Chop off your trees at the trunk]
This achievement should unlock after cutting 30 trunk branches (the thicker ones).


Gardener
[Prune some branches]
Cut 50 branches. I advise you to cut the smallest branches so you can get more clicks.


Tree Lover
[Grow many different trees]
You are supposed to grow 30 trees, but the achievement unlocks if, in the start screen, you create a tree, then return to the start screen, cut it, create a new one, etc... It should take you around a minute to create, delete, create, delete...

Japanese Maple
[Grow a Japanese Maple]
This achievement is unlocked after ~10 Growth Cycles in a Japanese Maple tree, or when you get your first small branches.

Sugar Maple
[Grow a Sugar Maple]
This achievement is unlocked after ~10 Growth Cycles in a Sugar Maple tree, or when you get your first small branches.

Sycamore
[Grow a Sycamore]
This achievement is unlocked after ~10 Growth Cycles in a Sycamore tree, or when you get your first small branches.

Oak
[Grow an Oak]
This achievement is unlocked after ~10 Growth Cycles in an Oak tree, or when you get your first small branches.

Birch
[Grow a Birch]
This achievement is unlocked after ~10 Growth Cycles in a Birch tree, or when you get your first small branches.
"Not so easy" achievements
Arborist
[Prune lots of branches]
Pure grinding. You need to cut 2000 branches. There's some kind of multiplier involved here, as cutting thicker branches "counts" more towards your goal, than cutting a single thin branch. Credit to Bigh for this last piece of information.

Tree Sculptor
[Prune lots and lots of branches]
Even more grinding. You need to cut 6000 branches. They ran out of ideas for the achievements so the devs torture us like this.

Plant Nurturer
[Help a tree to grow fully into adulthood]
This one also takes a while. For me it was around 150 Growth Cycles that it unlocked, although there are people getting this achievement at 50 Growth Cycles.

Basically you need to get your tree's trunk as thick as possible. Just keep cutting it and good luck!

Just use SAM if you're going to cheat next time... No, thanks. I'd rather spend 10 more hours to 100% the game instead.

just read my very useful tip below...

The grinding achievements are just awful. Pain in the ass if you want the 100%

Well, after 3 hours I am at less than 1k. Does that mean I need to play for 15 more hours? WTF?

Edit: 5,7 hours to get 2k... It's not an easy game at all. If it takes 15 hours to complete..

Em - for all of you, who don't wanna waste AGES for clicking, just use an auto clicker?! works perfectly for me - tree is grown in < 10 secs :P

Plant Nurturer: I just needed about 50 GC. Just cut down the trunk several times before a new GC is incoming. The same type of tree is growing again but with a slightly thicker stem. Stem diameter should be about 1 cm (in close view) to get the achievement.

Arborist, Tree Sculptor: it seems you don't have to cutdown that high amount of branches. If you await a fully grown tree (with red GC status) and try to cut the outer branches you are really fighting against the fast growth rate. Also I noticed there's somekind of multiplier. If you cutdown thicker branches or stems it counts more as usual. One fully grown tree brought me about 500-600 branches in the end (If you plan to cut it down to the trunk). But for farming only cut down the outer branches each time.
