All the same traits that make our Hybrid Chestnuts great with one added bonus, a late season drop time. These trees have been selected to drop Nov-late Dec allowing you to offer your deer chestnuts well into the late season when all others have already been mopped up. Late in the year most acorns and other hard mast has already fallen and deer have fewer options which just compounds the drawing power of these trees. If you’ve seen the drawing power of other chestnuts, just wait till you see how attractive these late dropping trees can be. Blight resistant, bears in just 2-5yrs, extremely palatable nuts, fast growing, and easy to grow. Add some to your order today and extend your chestnuts into the late season.
