Summer truffle plantation in Yorkshire (UK)

In rural Yorkshire, nestled between fields and rivers, lies one of our partnership
summer truffle (Tuber aestivum/uncinatum) plantations.

The site

On a family estate, the plantation site required liming but now has
optimal conditions for the cultivation of the summer truffle.

Young truffle-tree saplings from our laboratory were planted during the 2006/07 season across 1.5Ha.

The results so far

Over the past two seasons the trees have grown considerably and root analysis in
December 2007 and 2008 showed the truffle fungus to be thriving.

If you have a site that you think may be suitable for such an approach, please contact us to discuss the various options.

    In rural Hampshire, our expert dog trainer Marion Dean has been busy crafting a new resource for would-be truffle hunters and farmers alike. Compiled from footage taken throughout 2009, the DVD aims to show how much care must be taken when harvesting truffles to prevent any damage to the valuable fungi, their mycorrhizal growth and the trees supporting them. With plenty of footage of truffle harvesting, you can also gain an insight into Marion's style of teaching.
