Pretty much just like in real life, the trellis is a structure of support that plants can climb onto in Stardew Valley. There are many ways in which you can use a trellis to your advantage. Sometimes, the best trellis layout tends to be one of your best bets when it comes to profiting from hard money
What is Trellis in Stardew Valley?
Trellis, as I’ve mentioned earlier, are support plants. They make it easier for regular plants to climb and grow as they age.
Typically, a trellis is about 6 feet (1.82 meters) in height. This is to allow plants that crawl to have their own support and actually take their growth even further. In Stardew Valley, the trellis’ height makes no difference as they’re used the way they’re utilized IRL.
Did you know, a trellis also works inside a greenhouse? But first, you have to plan your greenhouse layout. You can learn more here.
Stardew Valley Trellis Crop Layout
Looking for the best trellis crop layout and design might seem impossible, but the fact that trellis makes your farming easier and worth it.
Sometimes, it takes a while for someone to set up their trellis layout. It’s not that hard, but figuring out how to get the best and optimal design is hard, especially for beginners. One of the easiest methods that I’ve found is setting them up and clumping them together around the junimo huts.
Junimos will periodically harvest and collect fruits, vegetables, and crops for you. It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out, but it goes a long way when you know how to use them.

Stardew Valley Trellis Layout Iridium Sprinkler
In a Reddit post, one user claimed that the best way to set up your trellis with an iridium sprinkler is to do this setup:
OOOOO
OXXXO
OXSXO
OXXXO
OOOOO
where O = other crops, X = trellis, and S = sprinkler.
You have to note that trellis will stop you in your walk/run phase. You have to stop to harvest the plants, which is kinda nice since it adds immersion but is time-consuming.
Scarecrows for Trellis
Scarecrows aren’t necessarily needed for any trellis tile, but from what I’ve found, it adds to the flavor and overall design. One Reddit user suggests in a post to use this type of setup:

where:
- ┼ = Trellis
- ┋ = Pathway
- ◦ = Crop
- X = Quality Sprinkler
- @ = Scarecrow
It’s pretty aesthetic and carefully designed. I highly suggest checking out this Reddit thread to learn more about the farming method they used.
