🏞️ Product Description:
The Sargent #7 Hybrid Oak is a wildlife powerhouse, known for producing large, sweet acorns and dropping them early in the season, right when deer are beginning to shift into fall feeding patterns. As one of the heaviest acorn producers we offer, Sargent #7 combines size, volume, and early drop timing into a fast-growing, high-performance oak perfect for attracting deer and turkeys alike.
With bigger acorns than Sargent #5 and a slightly earlier drop window, this tree plays a vital role in any staggered oak planting strategy.
🦌 Big Nuts. Early Season. Heavy Draw.
The large acorns of Sargent #7 are lower in tannins and incredibly attractive to wildlife. The early drop—often beginning in late September—makes this hybrid oak a key player for early bow season setups, providing high-quality mast right when whitetails begin transitioning from summer patterns.
