When you want to save yourself some time, you focus only on 1 or 2 types of trees, especially when you optimize the profit/pixel. However managing the resulting forest can take quite some time. So here are 3 tips:

1. Make sure that you harvest all the trees at the same time (so they are all ripe at the same time) (wait some time before harvesting the individual ones)
2. make a wise decision in choosing your trees. when you place 16 trees per square (equaling crop) some will be difficult to manage and some will easy to manage:

	Date Trees are difficult to manage: there is no visibility of the tree being "ready".
	Pomegranate Trees are easy to manage: for each tree that can be harvested a little red dot will be visible.
	Passion Fruit Trees are difficult to manage: there is no visibility of the tree being "ready".
	Olive Trees are easy to manage: for each tree that can be harvested a little brown dot with little thingie under it will be visible.
	Apricot Trees are difficult to manage: there is no visibility of the tree being "ready".

3. Focus on the high paying trees. On http://fv.leau.net you will find in the consolidated tab a list from best tot worst to paying trees. The top five paying trees are:

1. Acai Trees deliver € 54,96 / square / hour
2. Olive Trees  deliver € 19,48 / square / hour
3. Date Trees deliver € 16,00 / square / hour
4. Pomegranate Trees deliver € 15,03 / square / hour
5. Banana Trees deliver € 12,99 / square / hour
6. Passion Fruit Trees deliver € 12,94 / square / hour
7. Grapefruit Trees deliver € 11,59 / square / hour

The rest of the trees are less interesting since they earn € 10 or less / square / hour UNLESS you are trying to focus on the Treehugger achievement then you should basically plant as much as CHERRY trees as possible since they are the only trees that are available via gifts/market which will ripe within 46 hours (acai trees also ripe within 46 hours but a forest will cost you a lot of FV :) ).
