A tree where Pokémon hoard their food (previously called a berry tree) from Sword and Shield
A Berry tree (Japanese: きのみの木 Fruit tree) is a tree in the overworld on which Berries grow. In Generations II, VI, VII, and VIII, Berries can be collected from trees at fixed locations on a regular basis.
From Generations III to VII, Berries can also be planted in soft soil. In the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions, Berry trees can be found growing when the player first arrives at a location. Once the Berries are picked, another Berry can be planted in the soft soil.
Generation II
In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, there are a number of Berry trees across the Kanto and Johto regions. The player can harvest one Berry from each tree each day.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, these Berry trees are replaced with additional Apricorn trees. Instead, the player can grow their own trees in Berry Pots.
Locations
Generation VI
In Pokémon X and Y, there are a number of Berry trees across the Kalos region. The player can find one Berry on the ground in front of each tree every seven days. Berry trees can also be found in battle as natural objects that can be hit with Air Cutter, Blizzard, or Twister to drop Berries.

Generation VII
Berry piles with different sizes
In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, there are a number of Berry trees across the Alola region. Piles of Berries lie beneath the trees, which come in two sizes that are distinct in the overworld: a small pile that yields three random Berries, or a large pile that yields four to five Berries. These piles often attract wild Crabrawler, which will attack anyone trying to take the Berries from their pile.
The first Berry in a large pile is fixed, and some Berries can only be found this way. It is possible to get multiple of the same Berry in a single pile. The pile in the Berry fields can only be a small pile and will never contain a Crabrawler. Piles regenerate every day at midnight, although the player has to leave the area for them to reappear.
Additionally, the player can plant Berries on Poké Pelago's Isle Aplenny. The mechanics are stripped down even further than the previous generation. The planted Berry trees erries now have four stages of growth before they reach their final, harvestable stage. Unlike in previous games, rather than stages lasting a fixed proportion of each Berry's growth time, only the first stage of growth is variable, with the later stages all proceeding at exactly the same rate for all Berries.
Pokémon
Some Berry piles have a Crabrawler hiding in them, which the player must defeat or catch in order to collect the Berries. If the player runs from or loses to the Crabrawler, it will remain in the Berry pile—the player cannot collect the Berries until they defeat or catch the Crabrawler.
In large piles, there will always be a Crabrawler; small piles only occasionally have Crabrawler. High-level Crabrawler hide in large piles, whereas low-level Crabrawler hide in small piles.
Locations
Generation VIII
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, there are a number of trees where Pokémon hoard their food (Berry trees prior to version 1.2.0) across the Galar region. The player can shake the tree to get one to three items from a tree. After the player shakes a tree, the leaves will either remain still, start shaking somewhat, or shake violently. If the player continues to shake the tree once the leaves have begun to shake violently, there is a chance that a Pokémon will attack the player and nearby Pokémon will steal either all of the items of one variety or all of the fallen items. After the items are harvested or a Pokémon attacks, the tree can no longer be shaken until the next day. Trees in the North Wild Area may also drop Leftovers in addition to Berries, while trees on the mainland of the Isle of Armor and around Ballimere Lake in the Crown Tundra may also drop Apricorns, with the trees in Forest of Focus having chances to drop every variety of Apricorn, and only one kind of Berry.
Pokémon
Depending on the tree, Skwovet, Greedent, or Cherubi* may attack the player. Trees in the Isle of Armor additionally have a chance for Applin to appear, along with Emolga in the Forest of Focus and FlappleSw/AppletunSh around Stepping-Stone Sea. In the Crown Tundra, trees around Ballimere Lake instead have a chance for Munchlax to appear.
