Description

Prized by top chefs, Truffles are the goldust of the kitchen, being both hard to come by and commanding a high price tag in the shops. These underground fungi have a rich mushroom taste which adds an intense flavour to savoury dishes.

Crops are produced at the roots of trees which have been inoculated with the truffle spores, and take 4-7 years to develop. Once established, you will be able to harvest crops for up to 25 years, making this a real investment for the future.

Our truffle trees are supplied as young, one year old, bare root saplings which will grow to form an attractive tree over the years.

The English Oak is an iconic sight across the landscape of Britain. Instantly recognisable for its distinctive lobed foliage, deeply furrowed bark, and of course, its acorns. Quercus robur is an important wildlife tree in the UK, supporting hundreds of insect and lichen species, as well as providing food and shelter for a multitude of birds and mammals.

Often known as the Pedunculate Oak, this well loved tree will need plenty of space to reach its full potential, forming a majestic, spreading tree after many years. A worthy and noble specimen tree that makes a great host for your truffle crop! Height: 12m (39’). Spread: 8m (26’).

How to Grow

Truffle trees require a neutral soil pH of 7.3-7.6 to grow at their best. These bareroot trees should be planted immediately on arrival. Choose a sheltered position on moist, well drained soil in sun or semi shade.

More Info

Keep weeds and grass clear from within a 30cm radius of base of the tree. Water young trees during particularly dry periods until fully established.

Truffles can take 4-7 years to develop, so patience is required. There are several methods of locating mature truffles. If you notice cracks in the soil at the base of the tree then this often indicates where truffles have developed. Another indicator is the presence of small truffle flies hovering above a particular spot. Finally, you can simply get on your hands and knees and use your nose!

Try to avoid digging indiscriminately around the base of your tree as this is destructive to the root system and can destroy future crops. Instead take a careful approach and scrape the soil back gently in the specific areas where you believe a truffle to be located.
