Turkey Habitat

To create the ideal turkey habitat, plant a diverse mix of trees, shrubs, and grasses that provide both food and cover. Trees that produce mast crops (acorns and soft fruits like persimmon) are essential, while shrubs and grasses offer nesting sites and protective cover. Our carefully selected trees and shrubs are specifically chosen to enhance food plots for turkeys, ensuring a thriving and sustainable habitat.

Chinkapin oaks are ideal for turkey habitat, producing highly palatable acorns and thriving in various soils. Their smaller size and low branches make acorns more accessible, providing an excellent food source for ground-feeding wildlife.

Yes, wild turkeys eat chestnuts! Chestnuts are highly nutritious, providing carbohydrates and protein, making them an excellent food source for turkeys. Unlike acorns, which can have high tannin levels, chestnuts are low in tannins, making them easier to digest and more desirable to wildlife.

If you're looking for shrubs, our Done-for-You Bedding & Thicket Bundle is the perfect way to create top-quality turkey habitat—no guesswork required. Simply plant our Bedding and Thicket Bundle and let nature do the rest!
