Seasons
Dynamic Trees contains a complete implementation of a seasonal system where fruits and trees will grow and bloom in specific periods of the year. To activate this system install a mod that implements seasons, for example Serene Seasons.
Fruit trees may bloom a few weeks before they fruit, growing flowers before fruits start to grow.
Having working seasons adds a huge amount of immersion, but it can also make the game a bit harder. The tree's behavior will depend on the type of biome, which can be either temperate or tropical.
Tree growth will peak during summer and almost halt during winter, while seeds will drop most during fall.
For harvesting the leaves and chopping down trees there's a 15% season chance added year round on top of the factor. This is not shown on the graph.
Growth rate remains at maximum during half of the year, but dips a bit between summer and autumn. (the reasoning behind this is that these are the dryer seasons)
Meanwhile seeds also drop during the entire year but have a slightly lower rate during winter.
Different Dynamic Trees addons may implement different fruits, each fruit has its own fruiting season based on an offset away from summer (cycling back on 4). The fruiting season may not match the tree's growing season, as trees will still grow faster during summer and stop growing during winter.
These graphs show the fruit production rate for temperate and tropical biomes with the default fruiting offset (0, which is summer). Fruits with other offsets will have a similar graph but with peaks and valleys aligned with their preferred season.
The offset goes between 0 (inclusive) and 4 (exclusive) where each whole unit represents an entire season. Fractional values are allowed.
Based on average growth rates of real life fruits, here is a list of fruits with their offsets.
