Chinese Chestnut
Chinese Chestnut
Castanea mollissima
The Chestnut has become an extremely popular choice for whitetails. With production starting at a young age, and the high palatibility of chestnuts, I’d say all the attention is warranted. Expect production at around age 5 with annual production going forward.
The Chinese Chestnut will produce a slightly smaller nut than the hybrid chestnut. However, The Chinese Chestnut will outproduce a hybrid in the vast majority of cases.
Drop time: Sept.-Nov.
