The Stalk Market, where Animal Crossing players buy and sell turnips to turn a profit, has long been a staple in the Animal Crossing franchise. Joan is a boar who visits Animal Crossing towns every Sunday, selling her turnips for varying prices. Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk saw a new feature, the red turnip. Acquiring red turnips is only possible in these two entries into the franchise.
Steps
Part 1
Part 1 of 3:
Buying the Red Turnip Seed
Find Joan. Every week, Joan will appear in your Animal Crossing town. To find her, make sure that you check the entire outdoor map by running around.- Joan will only appear on Sunday from 6AM to 12PM.
- If you have time traveled, then Joan will NOT be selling her red turnip seeds, and there is no way for you to purchase one until following week (provided that you don’t time travel again).
Talk to Joan. Once you’ve found Joan in your town, talk to her by pressing “A.” She will have options to buy either white turnips or red turnips.Advertisement
Get a red turnip seed from her. To acquire a red turnip seed, choose the option for red turnips.- Red turnip seed cost 1,000 bells.

Part 2 of 3:
Planting the Red Turnip Seed
Plant the red turnip seed. Unlike white turnips, which Joan sells to the player as grown turnips, the red turnips come in seed form only. This means that you will need to plant the seed and let it grow before you can reap the benefits.- To plant the seed, dig a hole (by pressing “Y”) outside with your shovel and plant the bag of red turnip seeds.
- The red turnips take 6 days to grow fully.
Water the seed. To water the red turnip seed, simply equip your watering can, stand next to the turnip, and press “A.”- Red turnip seeds must be watered every day.
- If you don’t water the red turnip every day, it will wither and die, and you will make no money off of it.
- Overwatering is also harmful to the red turnip, so you will have to be precise and take care to water it once and only once every day for 6 days.
Allow your turnip to grow. Your profit is based directly on how long you allowed the red turnip to grow. The following illustrates how the number of days the seed has been planted affects its selling price:- 0 days (same day as planted) — 2 bells
- 1 day (day after it was planted) — 100 bells
- 2 days — 500 bells
- 3 days — 2,000 bells
- 4 days — 4,000 bells
- 5 days — 8,000 bells
- 6 days — 16,000 bells

Reaping the Benefits
Dig up your red turnips. Once your red turnip is grown, simply equip your shovel and press “Y” next to the red turnip to dig it up. Then with the red turnip in your inventory, head over to Tom Nook’s store.
Talk to Tom Nook. Do this by pressing “A,” and you will be able to sell him your red turnip.Advertisement

- QuestionIf I have perfect town ordinance, will I still have to water the red turnips everyday?
Ellie FarronCommunity AnswerYes. The perfect town ordinance doesn't mean villagers water your turnips for you -- it just means it's harder for weeds to appear and flowers to wilt. - QuestionWhy didn't my turnips die when I time traveled?Ellie FarronCommunity AnswerYou didn't time-travel back then. If time gets set backwards more than an hour, that's when turnips die.
- QuestionI didn't get any option to buy red turnips. Is this some kind of joke?
RubyTop AnswererThe red turnip isn't available in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It is only available in the games Wild World and City Folk.

Tips
- Time traveling will remove the possibility of obtaining a red turnip seed from Joan for that week; also, time traveling after having planted the red turnips will cause it to die.Thanks
- You must water the red turnip every day.Thanks
- Withered red turnip seeds can be revived IF you have the silver watering can. However, using the silver watering can to revive a red turnip seed will cause it to come back at its smallest size, and you will have to start the count of days planted over againThanks
