A screen to hide your walk in and out of a stand or blind, with some browse value on top. Hybrid poplar for a fast back row, and Cortland hybrid hazelnut and Nanking cherry to fill in low.

What you get 9 plants: Hybrid Poplar (3, 3-5 ft.), Cortland Hybrid Hazelnut (3, 1-2 ft. seedlings), Nanking Cherry (3, 2-3 ft.). Bare root, shipped or picked up in Missoula in spring 2027, roots wrapped in moist sawdust. Guaranteed to bud out.
Hardy to Zone 3b (winters to about -35°F). Check your spot with our cold hardiness calculator.
Why these Hybrid poplar grows fast for height. Minnesota DNR lists hazel as preferred winter browse for whitetail, and Nanking cherry is deer browse and songbird fruit.
Pollination The hazelnut and Nanking seedlings are all different, so they pollenize each other.

This is a screen first and a food planting second. Plant it as a double row along your access route, poplars on the side away from the trail and the shrubs on the trail side.

Protect Them

Deer, elk and moose browse young plants hard, and bucks rub trunks in fall. Cage each tree until it's out of reach: a welded-wire cage about 5 ft. tall and 3 ft. across works for deer. Where elk come through, MSU recommends an 8 ft. fence with a top rail. Trunk tubes alone won't stop rubs. Water with drip the first couple of summers.

Is Planting This Baiting?

Growing plants is habitat work. Rules on fruit or nuts you pick, move or pile up vary by state, so check your state's hunting regs before you hunt over it.

For the full how-to (why these plants work, spacing, protection and timing), read our whitetail deer orchard guide.
