🏞️ Product Description:
The Bur x Gambel Early Drop Hybrid Oak is a fast-maturing, heavy acorn producer that combines the best traits of the Bur Oak and Gambel Oak. This hybrid reaches acorn production maturity in as little as 3 to 8 years, making it a quick and reliable source of mast for wildlife.

Its sweet, highly palatable acorns are a favorite food for Whitetail deer and other game species, attracting them early in the season and helping sustain them through the fall and winter months.

🍂 Early & Heavy Acorn Producer:
With an early drop time in September, this hybrid provides wildlife with a critical food source before many other oaks begin dropping their acorns. The heavy crop load helps ensure that your land stays attractive to game every year.

🦌 Wildlife Magnet:
Whitetails and other wildlife are drawn to the sweet taste of these acorns, which offer high nutritional value. The tree also contributes to improved habitat by providing cover and shade for game.

🌱 Hardy & Adaptable:
This hybrid grows well in a range of soil types and is tolerant of both drought and heat, making it an excellent choice for diverse landscapes and hunting properties.

🛠️ Planting Tips:

Space 20–30 feet apart to maximize growth and mast production

Use a Tree Survival Kit to protect young trees and encourage establishment

Plant near food plots, trails, or bedding areas for best wildlife attraction

Supplemental watering during the first season supports strong roots

🐾 Summary:
The Bur x Gambel Early Drop Hybrid Oak is an ideal tree for landowners looking for a fast-maturing, early-producing mast tree that Whitetails love. It’s a smart investment for creating a reliable food source and enhancing wildlife habitat quickly.

Early drop. Heavy crops. Whitetail favorite.
