I remember seeing something about the cedar trees in winter - that after a certain date, any new ones planted won't have lights.

Does anyone know if there's a similar rule with cherry blossoms?
 
In the fish encyclopedia, it doesn't show what time you find them at (instead showing location) - can the same fish be caught at any time of the day? For example, could i catch a koi at 6am, and also at 12pm and 7pm and 2am? Sorry if that doesn't make sense, thanks!

Your normal trees will stay like this until the 10th of April.

No, like other catchable nature critters, certain fish come out at certain hours of the day. You can check out when fish are available here: http://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/list-of-bugs-fish-deep-sea/
 
Okay good to know, thanks! Kind of annoying that the encyclopedia doesn't say.. Also, do villagers ping you on event days? Like today since it's April fools day?

They can, but only once the event is over at midnight. At least for moving. I personally haven't had anyone ping for anything during an event.

Wart Jr. isn't pinging me to move. Is it because of April Fools?

Yes. Villagers won't ping for moving, or anything else I believe, during a holiday or event. After it ends at midnight, he'll be able to ping. Or, simply wait until tomorrow.
 
I got this game a week ago and I love my villagers. I want them to stay with me forever and never leave. Are there any things I should do or not do to stop any of them moving? Or is it inevitable that some of them will leave town no matter what I do?

Well, villagers sometimes move without telling you. What you have to do is talk to them EVERY SINGLE DAY.
 
Okay...every single play session I shall make sure I talk to Punchy, Roald and Merry no matter what, then if I have time and energy I'll talk to the rest.
 
Will villagers ever ask for persimmons, mangoes, lemons, etc? I don't think I've encountered them asking specifically for these fruits.

I've had all the weird tropical fruits since last summer and a villager has never asked for them. You can give them to the villager if they ask you to bring them any fruit, though. I think they only ask for the "standard" fruits by name.
 
I heard before that if you send a villager picture to a villager, they can't/wont display it in their house no matter what? Is this true? I'd like to send some of my extra pictures from April fools to different villagers.
 
Anybody know the exact rules for growing cedar trees? I've read "not by water" and "north = better" but I'd like somewhat more specific details before I waste these saplings by planting them poorly.
 
Basically, they cant be touching anything (so not text to pwp, water, cliffs, buildings etc) except bushes and flowers. sometimes if you have a buttload of trees in a small area more won't grow. a connected chain of trees and bushes can only have up to 12 trees/bushes total, more than that won't grow.
They HAVE to be in the north half of your town or they won't grow at all.

To stop them from moving, they have to initiate the conversation. If they don't ping you first, they won't talk about it. So, it complicates things a little. By talking to other villagers, though, they will often tell you if a specific villager is thinking of leaving.
