Just yesterday, we brought you a sneak peek of a European Pear Tree in FarmVille, which we believe will becoming to the game in the near future. FarmVille itself has confirmed that prediction, as players are now reporting that they are receiving European Pear Trees via random Mystery Seedlings on their own farms.
While we're still not entirely sure what the original tree in this pair will be (that is, the tree that will be available to purchase in the market, and will produce these European Pear Trees as Mystery Seedlings as a guarantee), we'll make sure to keep an eye on things, and let you know as soon as the tree is released in full in the game.
In the meantime, remember to claim every Mystery Seedling that you can, so that you don't miss your chance on having one (or more) of these trees on your farm before they even hit the store.

Have you received a European Pear Tree from a Mystery Seedling? What tree do you think will come "before it?"

FarmVille: GagaVille has launched - get ready to go gaga with new trees, animals and more!
Hold your fancy shiny hats farmers! GagaVille has officially launched in FarmVille! While it may not be May 17 for the West Coast, the East Cost is already there, and Zynga has flipped the switch on this fantastic new expansion! There's an absolute slew of stuff going on here, starting with a massive store update, including two trees, some animals, plenty of decorations, and even avatar clothing items.
We'll start with the two trees - the Gem Tree, and the Giant Gem Tree. Remember, these trees starting appearing from Mystery Seedlings early this evening, so you don't have to purchase either from the store if you don't want to; that is, if you feel a bit lucky at receiving them through the free Mystery Seedlings methods. If you'd rather not wait, you can purchase a single Gem Tree or Giant Gem Tree for 7 and 12 Farm Cash, respectively.
You can find the rest of the GagaVille animals, decorations and clothing items behind the break.
Moving on to the barnyard, you'll be able to purchase three new animals: a Purple Ponytail horse costs 26 Farm Cash, a Crystal Sheep costs 20 Farm Cash and a Fame Sheep costs 20 Farm Cash. Unfortunately, my prediction about high priced items seems to be coming true. While the Purple Ponytail horse has a typical horse price, the two sheep have been given Sheep Breeding prices, rather than those for typical limited edition animals. That's the price of a high-profile cross-promotion, I suppose.
Remember, if you purchase the Purple Ponytail horse, you'll have a chance of breeding the Purple Ponytail foal when placing this horse in your Horse Stable.
Next, we hit the decorations tab of the store, which comes stocked with a Crystal Flowerbed costing 2,000 coins (not labeled as part of the GagaVille limited edition theme, but we're pretty sure that's an oversight), a Black Rose Arch for 10,000 coins, a Crystal Fountain for 18 Farm Cash, a Crystal Stage at 15 Farm Cash, the Enchanted Forest priced at 200,000 coins, and the Violet Gem which costs 20,000 coins.
Before you splurge on all of these items simply because they're labeled as GagaVille, remember that some of them are actually re-releases from other themes. The Black Rose Arch, for instance, was first seen back in last year's Halloween event, while the Enchanted Forest was first launched in February's Fairy Tale event. Laziness? That'll be up to you to decide, but the items are there for you to purchase again if you'd like.
If you were expecting this theme to launch without a vehicle to call your own, your assumption would be wrong, as you can spend 200,000 coins on a new Bedazzled Tractor. The Tractor functions the same as other vehicles, and can be upgraded to plow more land at once via the use of Vehicle Parts.
Finally, there are three avatar clothing items in the store - one for boys and girls, and another that works equally well for both genders. The Sparkly Glasses go for 5 Farm Cash and are a simple accessory, while the Gaga Fan Outfit will allow female players the chance to dress in an outlandish costume (of course inspired by the Lady herself) for 10 Farm Cash. Also for 10 Farm Cash, the male costume is called the Biker Outfit.
All of these items, except for the Crystal Flowerbed (which, again, we think is a mistake as of this writing), are limited to only being available for the next two weeks. Within that time, we may see other decorations released in this theme, and if we do, we'll make sure to let you know.
In the meantime, let us know what you think of the GagaVille experience so far. Are you impressed with the decorations, animals, trees, and other items already released, or were you expecting something more?

Only in FarmVille would money start growing on trees; Coin Tree found
Leave it to Zynga to take a cliche and turn it into the real deal ... sort of. Several players have noticed that, in the FarmVille Mastery Charts for trees, a Coin Tree has appeared around the fourth page. The tree, of course, will have Mastery ratings when released.
So far, we know that its first tier of Mastery will take 75 harvests to reach, but its Level 2 form is currently not listed. (The logical progression would be a Farm Cash Tree, no? Keep dreaming.)
The tree is not available on the Market yet. But there's one thing that's bugging us: Trees already provide Coins when harvested, so what will make this one so special? Will it provide more coins than normal trees? That's the only possibility we can imagine at the moment.
Coin Tree Mastery
That being said, our wild speculation for the day (so far) is that this tree will either be a reward for one seriously challenging Goal or be put on sale for Farm Cash. Call us cynical, but our bet is on the latter--prove us wrong, Zynga.

Have you seen the Coin Tree in your Mastery chart? When and how do you hope this tree will be released, and what will that Level 2 tree be?

FarmVille: Double Mastery on for this weekend on trees and crops
Even though there's no real holiday going on, that hasn't stopped Zynga from celebrating this weekend in FarmVille by turning on double mastery. This double mastery event will take place from now until Monday evening at 9:00 PM PDT. Within that time, all of your crops and trees harvested will count for double the mastery points, so there's a great opportunity here for mastery sign earning!
A couple of things to keep in mind: If you're going for crop mastery, you can activate a bushel when harvesting to earn three points of mastery for each square with this bonus. For tree farmers, you can also employ the orchard rotation technique, while earning double mastery on each orchard you harvest as well. Also, if you happen to own a Platinum Mastery Statue or recently re-released 2X Mastery Statue on your farm, this bonus will not stack on either crops or trees - you'll simply miss out on this event on that particular farm, as it only applies to those without such statues.
As one final note, this event does not give you double mastery points on animals. Why the FarmVille team hasn't decided to include our (mostly) furry friends in these updates hasn't yet been revealed, but I'm sure Zynga has its reasons. Either way, remember - this event will only last for the next couple of days. If you've ever needed extra incentive to play FarmVille on the weekends, this is about as good as it gets.
What crops or trees will you try to mastery during this double mastery weekend?
