In tonight's FarmVille update, we see the release of two new trees in the current English Countryside limited edition item theme. These two trees are available to place on either your Home Farm or on your second farm in the English Countryside, but remember - if you'd like to have one of these trees on both of your farms, you'll need to purchase two of them.
The two trees are the European Beech Tree and the Juniper Tree, and, as you might have guessed, they both go for Farm Cash: 10 and 5 Farm Cash each, respectively. Also, if you'd like to refrain from purchasing the European Beech Tree, you can always just purchase the Juniper Tree and then hope to receive a European Beech tree from a Mystery Seedling when placing it in the Orchard.
Both of these trees are masterable, with the first star of mastery coming after 75 harvests of each tree, and they'll both be available to purchase in the store for the next two weeks.
Which of these two trees do you like more? Are you glad to see Zynga releasing more realistic trees to the game, or do you miss the more outlandish trees of updates past?

FarmVille LE English Countryside Buildings: English B&B & Riding School
It's interesting. After Zynga announced that they wouldn't be releasing as many items in FarmVille in the future, so that they could maintain the stability of the new English Countryside expansion, we haven't seen a slow down in new item releases - in fact, we've seen an increase! Not that we're complaining...
Tonight is no different, as two new buildings have been added to the limited edition English Countryside item theme in the form of the English B&B (B&B meaning Bed & Breakfast) and the Riding School. The Riding School goes along with the equestrian / sports items we gave you a sneak peek of in the past, and horse-lovers everywhere will want to add this large structure to their farms, even if it does cost 25 Farm Cash to do so. Unfortunately, this also happens to be the cheaper of the two buildings, as the English B&B costs 30 Farm Cash.
Both of these buildings come with fairly large footprints on your land, but the English B&B specifically is one of the largest buildings we've seen released to date. Keep that in mind when you head into the store to purchase one, as you might have to reorganize some items on your farm before making the splurge. No matter which item you choose to purchase, these two buildings are available for purchase on both the Home Farm and your second farm, but only for the next two weeks.
Which of these two buildings will you add to your farms? Will you purchase both items for the English Countryside farm, or for your Home Farm?

FarmVille LE English Countryside Decorations: Red Phone Booth, Cricket Gnome & More
As part of tonight's FarmVille update, we've seen the release of five new decorative items in the current English Countryside limited edition item theme. All five of these items are available to purchase for either your Home Farm or your second farm in the English Countryside, but remember, if you'd like to have one of these items on each of your farms, you'll need to buy them twice.
Interestingly, only one of these five items is priced for Farm Cash - that being the Cricket Gnome. It's not unusual to see Gnomes priced for Farm Cash (in fact, it would be unusual if one were available for coins), so you can expect to add the Cricket Gnome to your collection for 15 Farm Cash. You'll gain 1500 experience points for purchasing this cute little fella, which should make a nice addition to your collection, no matter which farm you place him on.
Meet us behind the break for a look at the other four decorations released this evening.
For the other four decorations, you'll need to be willing to spend anywhere from 2,000 to 150,000 coins to add these items to your farm. Starting with the least expensive item, we have the fourth installment in the "Spring Flowerbed" series - the Spring Flowerbed IV item which is available for 2,000 coins. A Jumping Fence (like that found in Equestrian activities) costs 8,000 coins each, while a Red Phone Booth goes for 50,000 coins. Finally, the most expensive of the four is the Cricket Garden, at the aforementioned 150,000 coin price tag.
It's worth noting that while the Cricket Garden is a fairly pricey item, it isn't very large, taking up an area no larger than a single plot of land. Keep that in mind when you go to shell out that many coins - it's not as visually impressive of an item as you might expect, as you can see from the store's preview image below.
Regardless of the item(s) you choose to purchase, you'll need to do so within the next two weeks, before they expire from the store.

FarmVille Irish Animals: Irish Cob Horse and Pochard Duck
Tonight's FarmVille update sees the launch of two animals in the Irish limited edition item theme. Don't be fooled though - only one of these animals is truly new, as we're seeing a re-release of an animal first seen back in March.
The truly new animal is the Pochard Duck, which costs 16 Farm Cash from the store. This duck nets you 1600 experience points for purchasing it, and it can be harvested every two days if not placed inside a Duck Pond. Meanwhile, the re-released animal is the Irish Cob Horse. If it looks familiar, you might have purchased one for your farm during the St. Patrick's Day event earlier this year.
If you missed your chance then, know that the Irish Cob Horse thankfully retains its price tag of 26 Farm Cash (that is, the price didn't go up, as we've seen in the past). Plus, you'll still have a chance of breeding an Irish Cob Foal from the adult if you place it in your Horse Stable, so nothing has changed there. Whether you're purchasing an additional Irish Cob Horse, or are just picking your first up, you'll only have the next two weeks to decide whether or not to buy one.
Did you purchase an Irish Cob Horse during the St. Patrick's Day event, or are you just picking one up this evening? Will you add the Pochard Duck to any of your Duck Ponds?

FarmVille Animal Sanctuary theme grows in surprise market update
A (small) new set of Animal Sanctuary items has been released in FarmVille this evening, containing two new animals and some decorations.
These animals are the Peafowl and Mini Zebra Pegasus. The Peafowl costs 20 Farm Cash, while the Mini Zebra Pegasus costs 35 Farm Cash. Purchasing either one of these animals gives you a large bundle of XP as a reward, with the Peafowl giving off 2000 XP and the Mini Zebra Pegasus rewarding you with 3500 XP.
As for the decorations, you can buy a Hippo-Pond (a fairly large water feature surrounded by plants and rocks, with a hippo swimming in the water) for 18 Farm Cash, a Zoo Fence for 5,000 coins or a Zebra Bench for 10,000 coins. While it's nice to see this theme receive more coin-only items, I have to admit I'm still a little disappointed in the lack of a "wow" factor. While there's no guarantee that this theme will grow any larger, we'll make sure to let you know if it does (and if my call for a more impressive coin-only item is answered).
In the meantime, make sure to take a look at these items within the next 19 days, as they'll expire after that point, with no guarantee that they'll ever return.

FarmVille: Home Farm Unwither Ring back for five days only
Here we go again, farmers! Your opportunity to purchase one of the most exclusive (yet functional) items in the entirety of FarmVille is now once again here. If you've yet to purchase an Unwither Ring for your farm, you now have the opportunity to do so by heading into the game's store on your Home Farm and shelling out Farm Cash to do so. How much Farm Cash? A whopping 250, to be exact.
If you're new to the game, or just need a refresher, the Unwither Ring is a permanent addition to your farm that will stop your crops from withering ever again. It doesn't matter how long you leave them; you can go on vacation, or simply stop playing the game for an extended period of time, but will come back to fresh crops when you do finally return.
As usual, if you already have a ring, or know someone who might get more use out of it (or just appreciate the gesture), you can also send an Unwither Ring to a special farmer in your life. This particular version comes in a blue box, but functions the same as those released previously. To make things especially clear, when you click on the item in the store, you're told that this Unwither Ring will be locked to your "Home Farm," so you'll still have to worry about withering crops on your English Countryside and Lighthouse Cove farms.
With the current rate of exchange for Farm Cash, this Unwither Ring costs more than $40 - is it worth it? Some farmers must think so, or Zynga wouldn't keep releasing the ring for purchase. Still, it does leave me to wonder what other in-game goodies I could be spending all of that money on instead...
Have you purchased an Unwither Ring on any of your farms? Do you think the peace of mind is worth the high price tag?
