Wildlife Strawberry Bush – A Hunter’s Secret for Attracting Game
• The Wildlife Strawberry Bush (Euonymus americanus), also known as "Hearts-a-Bustin," is a native woodland shrub that is one of the most sought-after browse plants for whitetail deer. With its tender foliage, striking red seed pods, and natural ability to regenerate after browsing, this plant is an essential addition to any food plot designed for game management. Deer favor it so much that it rarely grows in areas with high deer density unless protected. This fast-growing shrub also provides excellent cover for small game, turkey, and songbirds while improving the overall biodiversity of your land.
• At Ty Ty Plant Nursery, we provide high-quality Wildlife Strawberry Bush plants at low prices, with fast shipping and a Free One-Year Plantsurance Guarantee, ensuring your plants establish quickly and keep game returning season after season.
