Thank you, donkeyfan! My issue isn’t with the hollies, which I’m getting more than enough of for the items I care about. What matters to me is wanting to solve a challenging puzzle. Since childhood I’ve always been very good at brain teasers and mental puzzles, and I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of working on especially difficult ones – and the satisfaction of solving them. So this is frustrating to me because, despite my best efforts, I have absolutely no idea how to solve it – or even how to approach finding a solution. So it’s gone from being fun to being frustrating. Maybe if there’s another clue that gives me new avenues to explore, it might become a fun challenge again, but for now I’ve lost interest. |

LuvHayDay Ah, ok. I understand this. Thank you for your explanation.  DibzieWhat you say makes sense, too. That cannot be denied. Due to this I'd appreciate it if you, ducktown2021 come along with the solution. The sooner the better.

ducktown2021 Is a "sacrifice" harvesting fruit trees (bushes) and to cut them down after that? No. |

DISCLAIMER: it works on all my farms Ok, I don’t want it to become a frustration, that was never my intention. “To have Holly popping, you have to make sure that drops stop dropping” that’s your sacrifice. In other words, normally you would get items dropping if you harvest a number of fields, drops would be bolts, tapes etc etc. If you barn is full the drops will be replaced by Holly. the commitment is in the work you have to do. its your own decision if you have a full barn and this isn’t working for you. |

No problem, hope that it also works for other players and would love to get feedback on that. |

THX from me, too ducktown2021. That would never have occurred to me. It doesn't work for me either, as my barn has plenty (!) of space, always. I can't imagine how it would feel if I would manage my barn capacity "on the brink". I couldn't do that, and I won't try it. Ok, it's my decision, I can live with that. |

Thank you for giving us the answer, ducktown2021. I tried it while harvesting tomatoes, and it worked. At the moment I value the usual drops more than the hollies, but if I find myself short on hollies at the end of the event, it’s great to know of a way to get more. I appreciate all your efforts in figuring out how it works. |

Just now, with room in my barn, when I fed the birds I saw a holly fly up into the air instead of one of the usual drops — and a holly was added to my total. So either something has changed, or having a full barn isn’t always necessary to get a holly drop.

When your barn isn't full, you can get a variety of items. If it is full, holly is the only thing you can get. |

Very interesting, ducktown2021! Yet, my situation today seems to be different. I am not getting holly drops at all today, while I got several yesterday. I’ve no clue why. It’s not a big deal, I just thought I’d mention it to you.

My barn is not full and I have noticed that I get two holly bonuses per day. I have them from feeding animals and harvesting.

Does anyone know if this applies only to certain crops? I got around 10 holly wheating yesterday but harvested 300 corn today and nothing yet

ducktown2021 I was just coming back to edit because it's dropping now. My barn was full the whole time, guess I just had bad luck for a bit or missed one

Yes, you will get holly drops when barn is not full, but with full barn is going faster when you harvest a lot. |

I am working towards the last 4000 Holly I need for the permits, chick vouchers and puzzle pieces for next week. I decided to spent some Holly on boosters, the 3 machines faster are 4 star boosters. My goal is to swap them with better boosters that I prefer.

So do I. Currently 2.219 holly, I need 2.900. I'm working on it. When I'm finished I'll skip the boats completely. For the next weeks.  |

Today harvesting my fields I had holly drop. I was triggered after I bought the chick vouchers and permits. In the end I had an odd number, so I started watching where the holly came from. Please share your findings here. I got it with harvesting wheat. Still trying to find out the number I have to harvest or if it’s random. Something else on my farm also drops holly. I haven't gotten a single one doing anything. Dang. |

🌼GymGirl🌺 and ducktown2021 I also got now and then 1 additional holly by feeding animals and harvesting crops. Both barn and silo are nearly never used to capacity.
