Version: Stardew Valley Expanded 1.15.11 with Stardew Valley 1.6.15.24356.

Salal Berry crop facts
| Field | SVE 1.15.11 value |
|---|---|
| Planting seasons | Spring and Summer |
| Growth phases | 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 days (13 days total) |
| Regrowth | Every 4 days |
| Base harvest | A random stack of 2–4 Salal Berries |
HarvestMaxIncreasePerFarmingLevel | 0.02; the game truncates FarmingLevel × 0.02 to an integer, so it adds 0 to the maximum at normal reachable Farming levels |
ExtraHarvestChance | 0.03; after the 2–4 roll, each successful 3% roll adds one berry and rolls again |
| Normal-quality base price | 75g per berry |
The practical unfertilized quantity is therefore 2–4 berries most of the time. There is a 3% chance to reach at least one berry above that base roll, followed by a 0.09% chance of two or more chained extras. The 0.02 farming-level field is not a 2% yield chance and does not raise the normal maximum in ordinary play.
Speed-Gro, Deluxe Speed-Gro, Hyper Speed-Gro, and Agriculturist can shorten the initial growth period. Basic, Quality, and Deluxe Fertilizer affect crop quality instead of growth speed. Regrowth remains 4 days.
Where to find Shrub Seeds
In SVE 1.15.11, the Secret Woods can generate 1–2 buried Shrub Seed spots on days 2, 4, 8, 12, 14, 17, 21, and 26 of any season. The spots are created at 6:00 AM and expire after one day, so check and dig them on the day they appear.
Planting plan
- Plant on Spring 1: first harvest on Spring 14, then Spring 18, 22, and 26. Because Salal also grows in Summer, the same plant can continue on Summer 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, and 26 for 11 harvests across both seasons.
- Plant on Summer 1: first harvest on Summer 14, followed by Summer 18, 22, and 26.
- One-season baseline: four harvests produce at least 8 berries, worth 600g at normal quality before extra-yield rolls.
- Spring-through-Summer baseline: eleven harvests produce at least 22 berries, worth 1,650g at normal quality before extra-yield rolls.
Sell, preserve, or keg?
| Output | Base value | With Artisan |
|---|---|---|
| Salal Berry | 75g | Not affected |
| Salal Berry Jelly | 200g | 280g |
| Salal Berry Wine | 225g | 315g |
Jelly uses 2 × base price + 50g; Wine uses 3 × base price. Jelly is slightly lower per item but finishes much faster, so Preserves Jars usually give better machine throughput when both machine types are available.
Safe customization
Do not edit SVE’s distributed files directly. Updates can overwrite those changes or leave the pack in an invalid state. If you want a balance adjustment, create a separate Content Patcher pack, back up the save and Mods folder, and test the override in a disposable save while checking the SMAPI log.
