Burgundy (Summer) Truffle

Love truffles but never have a pig handy to snuf

Love truffles but never have a pig handy to snuffle them out? Now thanks to New Zealand scientists, who have found a way to infect trees with the spores of the truffle fungus, you can have them growing in your own garden. The fungus has a symbiotic relationship on the roots of trees, such as oaks so once the tree is planted you could only have to wait a few years before you can dig up those highly-prized underground fungi. Oak trees can tolerate most soils, except shallow soils and do need plenty of space to grow as they are large, but slow-growing trees. Plant them in full sun or partially shaded spot. Incorporate plenty of well-rotted garden compost when planting.These oak seedlings are 30-45cm tall and are in a 2 litre pot ready for planting. The summer or Burgundy truffle is harvested from June to late August and is a native species in the UK.
