 ===In Generation VI===
-Berry growth stages have increased to 6 stages per berry. Times for growth have also changed.
+{{main|Berry fields}}
+In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Berry farming is managed from one location: A Berry farm located just south of [[Kalos Route 7]].  The field contains six rows with six plots each, allowing the player to cultivate a large number of Berry plants at once.  It also contains two composters, into which the player can insert combinations of three Berries to acquire [[Mulch]] with varying effects on Berry growth.
+There are now 6 stages of growth between planting a Berry and its harvest:
 *Stage 0: This is where you planted the (name of Berry)!

 *Stage 6: (Berry) tree has (number) berries!
-Two new factors in growing berries are Weeds and Pest Pokémon which will lower the amount of berries produced by one tree if they're not dealt with constantly. A new visual cue to indicate the status of a berry tree are the number of buds/blossoms it has at Stage 4/5.
+The player can estimate a tree's Berry yield as soon as it starts budding, based on the number of buds or blossoms it shows.
-Also, cultivation has been conveniently streamlined from having to tend multiple patches across the region to just tending one farm near Camphrier Town.
-It is also possible for the plant to undergo a mutation. They will still grow their normal berries, but they will also gain one extra berry of a different variety.
+In addition to watering, two new factors that can affect Berry yield are introduced:  Weeds frequently grow around planted Berries, and once a tree starts budding {{t|Bug}} Pokémon may infest the tree (indicated by the tree shaking); both of these require investigation and removal for optimum Berry yield.
+Occasionally, planting different types of Berries in adjacent plots may result in a spontaneous mutation, with one Berry on the tree(s) being a different variety than planted; for example, cultivating Oran and Pecha Berries next to each other may yield Qualot Berries in addition to the expected Oran and Pecha Berries.  The first time this occurs, a scientist will arrive to document the phenomenon, and will remain on the farm to record any additional mutations the player discovers (when the player speaks to them).
