Is it possible to cultivate black truffles in UK?
Black truffles are being cultivated for the first time in France, Spain, Italy and New Zealand since the late Nineties - is it possible to cultivate black truffles in the UK?
Answers:
I think black truffles should be screened out for growing at UK, since great genetic varibility exists among crops. and every ecotype is adapted to its native environment and it is difficult to grow at other locations until unless you are well aware about ecological amplitude/range of that species.
no they wil die in england
Yes it is possible as this year were supposed to be ideal conditions i read in the paper, there was a bumper crop. Yet as in england we don't really have the trained sniffer dogs most will go uncollected from underground.
As you have noted Black Truffles are grown in NZ. However it is yet to be seen if they can be grown in economic terms. Suggest you do a search in NZ ( do an advanced search limiting to domain '.NZ'. There are agricultural advisory papers on line giving soil and climate requirements. The biggest problem is getting the trees infected with the truffle fungus. You will find out from the search what this involves. I suspect the technology may not be available outside New Zealand
