Truffle trees from local seeds

Location, location, location. The timeless advice on buying property can also be linked to truffle cultivation. Here at Mycorrhizal Systems we believe seed provenance to be really quite important. Many of our new plantations are started with a proportion of the planting stock grown from locally sourced seed. An example of this is our plantings in Baltic countries. The majority of the plantations are still planted with seed that we have tried-and-tested and proven to be an excellent host, but the percentage produced with attention to provenance is important for a number of reasons. Not only are we expanding our database of how well seeds from different areas perform, but we’re also looking very closely at the impact of provenance on the potential of a truffle orchard. We can contract grow, so no matter where you are located we should be able to offer you a locally-sourced seed option. For further information on this or any aspect of truffles (no matter what country you are in), please get in contact: Shop@PlantationSystems.com or +44(0)1433 659 167

    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.
