Chestnut Hill Outdoors – Fruit Trees
Fruit trees from Chestnut Hill Outdoors help bridge nutritional gaps. The woods and fields are lush and green as summer yields to early autumn. However, herbaceous plants are maturing and quickly losing nutritional value. Meanwhile, it may be several weeks or even months before hard mast species begin to fall. This time creates a period of nutritional stress for wildlife like deer. Fortunately, Chestnut Hill Outdoors offers a range of soft mast species to bridge this nutritional gap.
Among the earliest producers are mulberries and plums. Everbearing mulberry (Morus rubra), which includes black, white, and native red varieties, grows bush-like, providing abundant fruit and cover. Black mulberry (Morus nigra) grows in a taller tree form and produces what many consider to be the highest quality mulberry fruits. American plum (Prunus americana) produces abundant fruit, creating a thicket of cover for many wildlife species. Its wide temperature tolerance range makes it a great option in most zones. Chickasaw plum (Prunus angustifolia) also does well in all but the coldest zones and forms suckers that create thickets of cover.
Next on the nutritional calendar come persimmons. No soft mast species is more attractive to deer, and Chestnut Hill Outdoors offers a couple of varieties to span a wider gap. Early Drop Deer Candy Persimmons bear fruit from late August through October, sometimes within two to three years. Late Drop Deer Magnet Persimmons extend the attraction and nutrition from October through November and even into December, depending on climate and the care they receive. Both will also eventually create a thicket of cover.
