Want to know what the best deer-attracting food plot tree is? Realtree Nursery has the answer: the Dunstan chestnut tree. Deer flock to chestnut trees for their sweet-tasting chestnuts, and the Dunstan chestnut, especially, produces large annual crops that will keep deer and other wildlife coming back for more.

Realtree Nursery offers the Dunstan chestnut tree for a reason - it's special. Bred by noted plant breeder Dr. Robert Dunstan, the Dunstan chestnut tree is resistant to disease, grows faster than oaks and bears heavy annual crops of large, sweet-tasting chestnuts. For food plot success, this breed of tree is unbeatable.

The Dunstan chestnut tree produces the sweetest chestnuts, which deer and other wildlife go crazy for, but it also offers superior nutrition compared to other mast trees. Chestnuts are high in carbohydrates and provide high-quality protein, which deer, big bucks especially, will seek out. Even acorns, which are similar to chestnuts but have bitter-tasting tannins, can't beat the attracting power of chestnuts.

When tested by Dr. James Kroll "Dr. Deer" at the Whitetail Research Institute in Nacogdoches, Texas, Kroll reported: "Even though the wild deer at this location had never seen a chestnut in many generations, they got on the chestnuts within ONLY AN HOUR after we put them out. The deer ate the chestnuts 100:1 over the acorns. Chestnuts are deer's preferred food."

Dunstan chestnuts are clearly a superior tree for attracting deer. The trees are easy to grow and thrive in a variety of locations. Once planted, the trees will bear those delicious chestnuts within two to four years and produce heavy crops of chestnuts every year - no skipped years like other mast trees. When the trees begin to bear, the chestnuts will ripen in September and October and most fall free from the burrs for easy harvesting, which is perfect for fall hunting seasons.

If you don't have the time or patience to wait for your chestnut trees to produce, then consider using the new Chestnut Magic Ultimate Deer Attractant by Realtree Nursery and Chestnut Hill Outdoors.
