For spring, Chestnut Hill Outdoors ships bare-root dormant trees. They go to great lengths to ensure customers receive healthy stock, but it is ultimately up to recipients to follow proper planting instructions if they want to maximize plant growth. This involves several steps, including site selection, site preparation, tree spacing, and staking and tubing if necessary. Detailed instructions on all of the above and more are available in the Learning Center at ChestnutHillOutdoors.com.
Purchasing and planting mast-producing trees and shrubs to attract deer represents an investment of time, money, and effort.
