The table below shows the tropical plants tracked for Beanstalk event scoring, including their rarity tier and point contributions.

The discrepancy between 12 and 17 plants likely reflects the difference between Beanstalk-relevant tropical plants versus the full tropical category.

Rarity details

According to Hindustan Times, tropical plants span multiple rarity tiers: Common, Uncommon, Legendary, and Mythical. The PCGamesN Fall Market guide clarifies that variants like Blood Banana and Moon Melon are NOT classified as tropical plants, despite sharing visual characteristics with tropical entries.

Point values directly correspond to rarity tier. TheGamer confirms that Legendary tropical plants yield 4 points in Beanstalk events, while Mythical tropical plants yield 5 points. Common and Uncommon tropical plants contribute 1-3 points respectively.

Mythical plants give you the highest boost, so if you are aiming to climb faster, prioritize grabbing those from shops or special packs.
