Wildlife Chestnut Trees – The Ultimate Game Magnet for Food Plots
• The Wildlife Chestnut Tree (Castanea spp.) is a powerhouse for game food plots, producing highly nutritious nuts that deer, turkey, and other wildlife crave. Unlike acorns, which fluctuate in yield from year to year, chestnut trees consistently produce a reliable and abundant crop, making them a must-have for serious hunters looking to establish long-term food sources. With their fast growth, high carbohydrate content, and low tannins, chestnuts are one of the most attractive hard mast options for whitetail deer.
• At Ty Ty Plant Nursery, we provide high-quality Wildlife Chestnut Trees at low prices, with fast shipping and a Free One-Year Plantsurance Guarantee, ensuring your trees establish quickly and provide long-term benefits to your hunting property.
