Black truffle results in Devon, UK

Submitted by admin on Tue, 04/22/2008 - 11:24.

We have just finished the yearly analysis of the root system of our winter truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantation in Devon, UK.
The results were excellent, with 80% of the 3-5cm root samples showing a thriving truffle fungus.

The results are extremely encouraging. Whilst most of the UK has a suitable climate for the summer truffle, it has previously been thought that the UK climate is unsuitable for the winter truffle. These early indications
suggest that it may be possible to grow this species outside of its natural habitats.

    The prime tree planting time November – March is upon us. Traditionally, November to March are good months to plant, as the trees are dormant and planting in the winter allows the truffley-roots plenty of time to settle in before mycorrhiza and root-growth starts again in spring.
