Tatong Fruit Trees (Popular)
Tatong Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Truffle - Black - English Oak
$109.00
The Black Truffle originates in France, in the region of Perigord. It is very aromatic and is highly valued with chefs and restaurants. The vast majority of the truffles that are grown in Australia are this one. It is harvested typically from June through to the end of August. It has a black peridium (skin) and the glebra (fruit body) is black with thin white veins. The host tree is the deciduous English oak, Quercus robur, which produce acorns, and the roots of the tree are inoculated with truffle mycorrhiza. In Europe, truffles thrive in nutrient poor, calcareous (lime) soils and a temperate climate. Therefore to establish a truffiere in Australia you will require an area with a similar climate, including rainfall & winter frosts, sufficient available water for drought proofing, and apply sufficient lime to replicate the European soil types. They need cold winter temperatures with a few frosts. Hot summer temperatures for initiating truffle formation. Free draining soils, suitable for altering with lime. Sufficient rainfall or irrigation water.
