Growing the Corruption Tree

The Corrupt Channeller is an NPC that sits opposite the Zen Channeller. The former's mechanic is somewhat similar to the latter - you need to submit certain items to grow the Corruption Tree sitting behind him. However, there are some differences from Zen Chaneller as well.
The Corrupt Channeller will ask players for one of two things — either Sheckles or Tranquil Fruits with specific requirements. Providing him with these items will grow the Corruption Tree, adding a point to the Corruption counter. Every hour, the Corruption Tree will reset, and each point you get will cause a Corrupted Mutation to apply to one of your fruits. Thus, the higher your counter, the more fruits will receive the Corruption.
The Corrupt Channeller will also give you an item from his reward pool. It includes the following items:
- Zen Egg - 17.39%
- 10x Chi - 17.39%
- Corrupted Zen Crate - 13.04%
- Corrupt Staff - 8.7%
- Mutation Spray Tranquil - 8.7%
- Mutation Spray Corrupt - 8.7%
- Tranquil Staff - 8.7%
- Zen Seed Pack - 8.7%
- Corrupted Kodama - 4.35%
- Enkaku - 4.35%
Corrupted Aura event
Every hour, the Corrupted Aura weather event will trigger. It lasts for 10 minutes. During this period, any plant in your garden has a chance of getting the Corrupt mutation. Note that there is a possibility that the Zen Aura weather event triggers instead of the Corrupted one.
Corrupted Items

You can get two items from the Corrupt Channeller that can help provide the titular mutation in Grow a Garden:
- Corrupted Staff: When the Corrupted Aura event is active, it increases the probability of the fruits in its radius acquiring the mutation.
- Mutation Spray Corrupt: Spraying it on any plant will cause them to obtain the Corrupted Mutation.
Pet Shard Corrupted
Players can also get a Pet Shard Corrupted from the Zen Shop. Using it on any of your owned pets will give it the Corrupt Mutation. Thus, having that pet in your garden will increase the chances of getting Corrupted Fruits.
Corrupted Kodama
Players can acquire the Corrupted Kodama from the Corrupt Channeller. It is a perfect pet if you have a lot of Zen-type fruits in your garden. Picking them up while the Kodama is nearby has a chance to apply the titular Mutation.
