Wildlife Chinquapin Trees β The Ultimate Hard Mast Tree for Hunting Properties
• The Wildlife Chinquapin Tree (Castanea pumila) is one of the most attractive mast-producing trees for whitetail deer and game animals. A close relative of the chestnut, the chinquapin produces small, sweet, highly palatable nuts that deer prefer over acorns. Unlike traditional oaks that have unpredictable mast cycles, chinquapins reliably drop nuts every year, keeping deer and turkey coming back for more. With fast growth, early nut production, and drought tolerance, this tree is an essential addition to any serious hunterβs food plot.
• At Ty Ty Plant Nursery, we provide high-quality Wildlife Chinquapin 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.
