Truffles down under, some of the most expensive truffles in the world

Submitted by admin on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 12:52.

Whilst northern hemisphere truffle hunters are busying themselves in the summer
truffle season, July is harvesting time for the Perigord truffle (Tuber melanosporum)
in the southern hemisphere. With productive plantations in both New Zealand
and Australia and with South Africa soon to follow, southern hemisphere truffles
are growing in both recognition and demand. The rewards are there too, with
Australian truffles priced at $2,750AUS/kg (£1,333GBP)and New Zealand
truffles at $3,750NZD/kg (£1,435GBP) returns can be very good indeed.
Watch this space for further southern hemisphere development news and contact
us to find out how you can be part of the process.

    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.
