Truffle establishment within a woodland

Submitted by admin on Thu, 11/15/2007 - 15:37.

Starting in 2008 we trailed another new approach to truffle cultivation that involves planting saplings within a woodland environment.

Our primary site is now planted with its first two trail
plots (440 trees). The trail is a partnership-plantation and will eventually contain 1,100 trees spread across five plots with differing conditions.

A lot of time/expertise has gone into the preparation of this trial and updates will be published here as the trial progresses. The predictive benefits of this approach include a short time to harvest due to certain conditions found within the woodland.

If you have a woodland site and would like to try this approach,
please e-mail us for further details.
