If you plant the tree too close to another tree, there are too many weeds around, or possibly it is the wrong season (I'm not sure about the last one), then the sapling might die. Otherwise you may have a glitch. I only have Animal Crossing: population growing for the gamecube, so it may be different in other versions of animal crossing, but we (my family and friends) have always been able to get the golden shovel, and the sapling always continues to grow after you harvest the shovel.
You can do the same thing with the golden shovel that you do with the regular one but, with the golden shovel you can plant money trees!!!!!!!!!!!! -Mylissa
You can bury money with the Golden Shovel.
You hit rocks with it and get an extra 2,000$! And you bury money, water it with the golden watering can and you get... a money tree! Actually, you can water your money tree with any watering can, only, you need a golden shovel to make the money tree grow. You see if you bury money with a regular shovel nothing will happen except you will get that little star on the ground. But if you bury money with a golden shovel, a little sapling will pop out of the ground.
I know how to get the golden shovel. Bury your shovel and leave it for a whole night, the next morning - buy another shovel and dig your buried shovel up. It should be golden!
Golden shovel- bury your shovel, buy a new one, then dig it up in 24hours.
First off, you need to buy an extra shovel.(Make sure you now have two)With one shovel, dig a hole and put the other shovel inside.After four days, (Exactly) dig out the shovel you buried and it will be golden!!
The golden shovel unfortunatly is still only 250 bells. Although, Nook asks if you are sure you want to sell such a valubal product, the price doesn't change from a normal shovel I belive. ACTUALLY it doesnt cost anything if u wanna buy just burry a shovel and wait 1 day and youll have a golden shovel YAY

To get the golden shovel: 1. Go to Nook's and buy two shovels Note: Nook only has one shovel a day so it will take you two days to get two shovels 2. Bury one of the shovels 3. Wait about three days 4. Now dig it up and now you have the golden shovel!
There is one I know, 2, actually. 1. Golden shovel ($1000) 1 shovel is $500, you need 2. Burry a shovel, wait a day, and bam. 2. Money tree (won't last,I think that if there is a golden water can, it will be needed. Burry $1000 with a golden shovel. Take PERFECT care of it.
If you replant the money you dug up from the shiny spot, a money-growing tree will sprout. If you plant a shovel, a golden shovel tree will sprout. When the golden shovel tree matures, you get a golden shovel which occaisionally digs up money bags if you dig random holes anywhere in the ground.
The golden shovel allows you to plant money (bells) tree and allows you to get more money out of the money rock. Hope this helps!! :D
