Large clusters of golf ball sized fruit characterize this spectacular wildlife tree. It’s self-fertile, but an increased production of fruit is likely with the presence of another pear cultivar nearby. It can be combined with our other earlier-fruiting selections to have a long season of fruit availability. As such, this is a very special selection that will be of great interest for your wildlife orchards. Bur Oak – 3x Bur oaks produce massive acorns in heavy caps covered in “burs” that resembles a small bird’s nest. Dropping in October to November, their hefty size prevents smaller animals from eating them, and therefore they may persist on the ground into early winter and be available for consumption by deer after other more preferred, earlier ripening food is no longer available. Callaway Crabapple – 2x The Callaway Crabapple is a sturdy, southern-bred tree that turns your land into a hotspot for whitetails and birds alike. Late summer into fall, its flowers give way to clusters of cherry-sized red crabapples—crisp, mildly tart, and a favorite for deer just as local food sources become scarce. Reaching 25’ with a rounded, spreading crown, this tree settles into full sun and handles a range of soils. Self-fertile, it’ll produce on its own, though a nearby pollinator like another crabapple or apple tree can improve yield. Bartlett Pear – 2x The Bartlett Pear predictably pulls wildlife to your land with its reliable mid-season fruit drop. Plant it solo or layer it with later bearers like the Kieffer for a spread that carries attraction from summer through fall.In USDA zones 5-9, the Bartlett Pear is a steady, no-drama choice for landowners enriching their deer habitat. <!–Dr. Deer Pear – 2x This very special tree is only available in the Dr. Deer Starter Packs and is ideal for food plots due to its later-than-typical fruiting. It provides late fall fruit when little else is available. Its fruit is excellent for deer and wildlife and will attract them throughout the hunting season.–> Red Osier Dogwood – 2x Red Osier Dogwood, a native shrub that’s a magnet for white-tailed deer and other wildlife. Its vibrant red stems shine in winter, while tender new growth offers highly desirable/digestible browse that deer eagerly seek out in spring and summer. Growing 6-9 feet tall, this hardy shrub thrives in various soils, including wet areas near streams.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
