The Fissure Berry isn’t just another collectible seed — it’s an Event-Exclusive Crop, which makes it extra valuable in both gameplay and trading. It can be planted like any other seed, but its rarity means it may be used in future event quests or have a high base sell value.

The Fissure Berry: A Rare Event-Exclusive Seed

In Grow a Garden, not every crop can be found in the shop — and the Fissure Berry is one of those truly special finds. Introduced during the Chubby Chipmunk Update (October 2025), this seed can’t be bought, traded, or found in standard seed packs. Instead, it’s linked to a special event pet — making it a must-have for collectors and dedicated farmers alike.

Step 1: Getting the Hyrax Pet (Event Exclusive)

The Hyrax Pet is the only way to obtain Fissure Berry seeds — and it’s locked behind the Chubby Chipmunk Event, a limited-time feature where players care for a very hungry, very adorable chipmunk.

Here’s how to get it:

  1. Claim Your Chubby Chipmunk:
    Head to the main event area at the center of the map. Talk to the event NPC and claim the Chubby Chipmunk Pet for free, then place it in your garden.
  2. Feed and Grow the Chipmunk:
    The Chubby Chipmunk automatically eats random fruits from your garden — except those you’ve “favorited” or marked as single-harvest. Each fruit it eats adds a small amount of weight.
  3. Reach the Hyrax Unlock Goal:
    Keep feeding your chipmunk until it reaches 30.48 kg on the event reward track. Once you hit that milestone, you’ll unlock the Hyrax Pet as a reward.

Tip: Regular feeding pays off — you’ll earn smaller rewards along the way before you reach the Hyrax milestone!

Step 2: Harnessing the Hyrax’s Unique Ability

Once you’ve unlocked the Hyrax, you’ll discover its special trait:

Hyrax Trait: Periodically consumes a random ripe fruit from your garden and converts it into a Fissure Berry Seed.

In short, your Hyrax acts like a magical seed machine. About every 4–5 minutes, it’ll eat one of your fruits and replace it with a Fissure Berry Seed you can collect and plant.

That makes it the only way to produce these rare seeds — so keeping your Hyrax active is key.

Pro Tips for Farming Fissure Berries

Want to maximize your Fissure Berry production? Here’s how to keep your Hyrax happy and efficient:

Plant Cheap Crops:

The Hyrax eats random fruits, so use low-value, fast-growing crops like Strawberries or Blueberries as “fodder.” This helps you save your premium plants.

Keep Your Garden Full:

If there aren’t any ripe fruits, the Hyrax can’t work its magic. Keep a steady rotation of crops growing at all times.

Protect Your Rares:

Use the Favorite option on valuable or rare plants — this prevents the Hyrax (or your Chubby Chipmunk) from accidentally eating them.
