INVEST IN BETTER HABITAT


The blight resistant Dunstan Chestnut (TM), is the best Food Plot Tree for attracting deer and game. Chestnuts were the most common tree in eastern North America before the chestnut blight killed off 30 million acres of trees in the early 1900s. They were the principle wildlife mast source in the eastern hardwood forests.

Dunstan Chestnuts are the most widely planted chestnuts in America, and are proven blight resistant and to bear the best quality nuts by commercial orchardists all over the U.S. for the past 30 years. They bear in only 2-4 years and produce more higher quality nutrition per acre than any oak species or hybrid. They will bear 10-20 lbs of nuts per tree by 10 years old, before most oaks even start to bear. Chestnuts are preferred by deer because the sweet tasting nuts are high in carbohydrates and protein, and have no bitter tasting tannin like oaks. They are the best Food Plot Tree, period.

Realtree Nursery grows the best quality nut trees, fruit trees and berries, oaks and other wildlife trees using root-enhancing pots and advanced production techniques. We will help you improve the quality of your habitat and increase the carrying capacity of your land.

Photos of trees and deer eating chestnuts available upon request.

I will outline my experience with chestnut trees for anyone planting them for food plots or any other reason. I live in north Florida so please take this into consideration when applying to your location. I have a friend who has approximately 500 acres who has planted a lot of it in food plots for all types of wildlife. He planted Chinese chestnut trees for deer. After seeing his food plots I decided I would plant some also. After considerable research I decided to go with the Dunstan chestnut tree. Since I live 200 miles northwest of Chestnut Hills Farms, Alachua, Florida, I drove down in October 2009 and purchased 150 Dunstan whips. The people at Chestnut Hills are very good to work with and answer all your questions. I rushed home and the next day my wife and I planted each tree 40X40. I planted them this far apart so I could get my tractor and bush hog around them without running over them. I checked the trees every day and began to notice that some were missing leaves all the way to the trunk. One morning I looked out in the field of tress and there were two does and a fawn eating the tops of the trees. Fourteen trees died. More research. For me the best plan seemed to be tree tubes. The tree tubes will prevent the deer from eating the leaves off the young trees and the bucks from using them for horn scrapes. They will also prevent hail damage and rodents from eating the bark. More research for the best price. The best price I found was at http://www.treeprotectionsupply.com. After getting the tree tubes I went to Lowes and purchased 10' grey electrical pvc pipe, then cut each in half. I had bought 4' tree tubes so 5' length is just right and the grey pvc will not break nor deteriorate. The next year some of my trees had grown out of the tubes, amazing growth rate. The tubes stay on the trees and are designed to break when the trunk grows. This year, 2012, some of my trees had nuts on them. From my friends experience with his trees I may have to stock up on ammunition, both for deer and squirrels.
