How to get Cherry Blossom Petals in Animal Crossing and what to do with them?

Animal Crossing: New Horizon players on Nintendo Switch will now start noticing cherry blossom trees indicating the arrival of spring.

They will be available for only a limited period of time starting April 1 and will disappear after April 10 for players in the Northern Hemisphere. As for players in the Southern Hemisphere, they should have cherry blossoms in October. However, you need to make sure that you have the most recent update of the game.

How to get cherry blossom petals in Animal Crossing New Horizons?

Getting those cherry blossom petals in Animal Crossing New Horizons is quite an easy task. As you start exploring the map, you will notice some petals falling off from the trees. As you spot them, you can immediately pull out a net and use it to catch these petals. You need to do it the same way as you would catch a bug. However, make sure that you are quick and accurate while trying to catch them, failing which you will most likely miss your attempt at it. This will make the cherry petals disappear from your screen. If you manage to catch one, it will be apparent as your character will be seen holding it up.
