If you plant one tree this fall, plant a chestnut.
Our chestnuts are the #1 tree for whitetails. Unmatched attraction, fast production, and heavy crops. If you want more deer on your place you need chestnut trees. Order now for Fall planting!
Two chestnuts. Two drop windows.
Hybrid Chestnuts and Late Drop Hybrid Chestnuts. The duo you need on your land.
Hybrid Chestnut
The tree we recommend to every landowner. Loaded with the carbs deer use to pack on fat ahead of winter, and one of the fastest-producing trees you can put in the ground.
- Production starts in as little as 2–5 years
- Puts down a crop every year — no off seasons
- Commercial orchard variety — good eating for you too
Late Drop Hybrid Chestnut
Everything that makes our hybrids great, bred to drop late. By November the acorns have been mopped up and the woods have gone quiet — these are still putting nuts on the ground.
- Selected to drop November through late December
- Food on the ground when nothing else is left
- Same growth rate, hardiness and guarantee
Don't pick one. Cover the whole season.
A Hybrid Chestnut is attractive through the first half of the season. A Late-Drop Hybrid Chestnut keeps feeding them when the acorns are gone and every other food source on the property has been picked clean. Plant both and you own the food supply from September clear through December.
Our recommendation: a 1:1 mix of Hybrid and Late Drop Hybrid. Enough early mast to pull deer in and establish the pattern, enough late mast to hold them through the end of the season.
More food, sooner, every year
Most trees make you wait. Depending on the species you can sit on your hands the better part of a decade before a meaningful crop. Chestnuts produce in as little as two to five years, and they produce every year. Fast, dependable, and always attractive.
Years to first crop
Among the fastest hard mast you can plant. You'll likely hunt over these within a few seasons.
Year, not every other
A predictable annual crop your deer can pattern on, rather than a heavy year followed by a lean one.
Planted once
More food value per acre than even the best food plot — and no replanting every season.
Survival guarantee
Plant and protect per the Growing Guide and we stand behind every tree we ship.
"If we had to recommend just one tree that every landowner should consider planting, it would be our hybrid chestnuts."

These Whitetail Hill chestnuts are starting to produce after being planted a little over 2 years. Excited to see how the wildlife will react!
I've planted over 150 Chestnuts, 15 Persimmons, and a few Crab Apples with a 98% survival rate. Your team has been super responsive to my questions.
All of my trees are doing great! Between the storms and droughts of west Tennessee, I don't think I've lost a tree.
My Whitetail Hill grove in SW Virginia. Last year was their first year producing chestnuts. They’re on track to have a bumper crop this year.
Planted my trees a about a month ago growing great so far
Hazel nut trees arrived in a timely manner. Got them planted and now they are putting on leaves. Everything looks to be doing fine.
Clover looking good.
Trees looking good.
Just waiting on October!
Trees are coming out of dormancy! Chestnut, pear, and apple!
I am super excited to have received my elderberry bushes. I absolutely love that you guys ship according to zones. So important and takes the guess work out for me.
Our trees are doing AMAZING! I'm a chicken and chestnut farmer now.
Got all 10 in and tubes staked and watered... All planted around the edge and west end of my food plot to add an assortment of food sources 4-7 months a year and to shrink the food plot eventually.
Planted last spring, part of the year round bundle I got from you! I believe this is one of the plums? Mulberry trees doing great also.
Little tree work today on our chestnut trees from Whitetail Hill Chestnuts. We have several of these on our property and plan on adding more in September. I can’t wait until they start producing.
Got my “late drop” chestnuts planted, I was very happy with the way they were packaged roots were moist and the quality of the trees was good. Planted among some trees from last year in hopes of creating a stand of chestnuts in the middle of the farm.
Fruit trees still in stock
Soft mast to spread your food sources out. Good companions to a chestnut block, not replacements for it.
Oaks still in stock
Most of our oak lineup is gone for the fall. These are what's left.
