Chestnut Trees

Chestnuts have significantly lower tannin levels than acorns, making them a superior food source for deer. Whitetail are drawn to the rich taste of chestnuts and will actively seek them out when available on your property.

Chestnut trees produce nutrient-rich nuts, low in fat and high in carbs, providing superior nutrition with more carbs than corn and more protein than acorns. Packed with vitamins C, B6, and folate, they’re a healthy food source for wildlife and humans.

Chestnut trees grow aggressively compared to other nut trees, like White Oaks, and can start producing in as little as 3 years. Their rapid growth and early production make them an excellent choice for fast-growing food sources for wildlife and orchards.

Chestnuts are easy to grow, thriving in a variety of soil types and climates. They require minimal maintenance once established, with deep roots that help them withstand drought. Chestnut trees are resilient, fast-growing, and produce abundant, high-quality nuts.
