I like the Dunstan chestnut. There are also some excellent blight resistant Chinese/American hybrid chestnuts that combine the best features of both types. I like the Dunstan chestnut.

I've been converting some acreage from row crops to various food plot plantings. I am very interested in planting soft mast trees along with what I have. We have a good population of whitetail deer, as well as some large bucks. I need to get an idea on the varieties of trees and the amount of trees I should consider. How much might they cost, etc. Also, have you heard of "muscadine" vines I saw in South Carolina? The deer and sheep seam to love them.
