Unlock the new Zombified fruit mutation in Grow a Garden with help from the Chicken Zombie pet. Boost your fruit’s value and show off your neon-green harvest!
Grow a Gardenโs Blood Moon Update Brings Zombified Fruit Mutation
Grow a Garden is shaking things up againโthis time with a spooky twist! The latest Blood Moon update is riding the Minecraft Movieโs Chicken Jockey wave, introducing a brand-new fruit mutation: Zombified. Donโt worry thoughโthis eerie, neon-green look wonโt rot your plants. In fact, it does the opposite by multiplying their sale value.
If youโre itching to show off this new look (and make a nice profit while youโre at it), hereโs exactly how to get the Zombified mutation in Grow a Garden.

How to Get the Zombified Mutation in Grow a Garden
For the first time in Grow a Garden, pet abilities can actually mutate your fruitโand yep, thatโs how youโre getting the Zombified mutation. Youโll need to get your hands on a Chicken Zombie pet.
If youโre not sure how to get one, donโt sweat itโweโve got a separate guide that walks you through how to unlock the Chicken Zombie pet step-by-step. Go check that out, then circle back here when youโre ready.
Once youโve got your undead chicken friend, hereโs what to do:
- Hold the Chicken Zombie in your hand.
- Left-click on an empty spot on your farm to release it.
- Thatโs it! The Chicken Zombieโs passive ability handles the rest.
Every 29.46 minutes (based on its Age 1 default), thereโs a 20.27% chance that a random fruit in your garden will get the Zombified mutation. As a bonus, it also boosts Egg hatch speed by 10.14%.
Pro tip: Make sure youโre feeding your Chicken Zombie pet regularly. Keeping it full and happy helps increase its XP over time, which improves its mutation chances even further.
What Does the Zombified Mutation Do?
Right now, the Zombified mutation is mostly for flexingโand making bank. It doesnโt have a special in-game function (yet), but what it does do is give your mutated fruits a massive 25x sale multiplier.
You can sell those Zombified fruits for a ton of cash or just stash them in your backpack to show off to friends who havenโt scored one yet. Either way, itโs a win.
