Growing Truffles

Soil Analysis interpretation and recommendations

We have taken a large number of soil samples from Europe, Australia and New Zealand truffle plantations and have developed a target soil type so we can manipulate soils to mimic the soils from producing plantations around the world.

We recommend before you embark upon growing truffles you take a soil sample to establish whether your site is suitable. This can be done by going to the SWEP website and requesting a truffle site suitability test. If you soil is suited we can then assess for you what needs to be done to your soil in order to plant truffle trees.

If you have already planted truffle trees you will need to order a full truffle analysis, which is a far more comprehensive test from the SWEP website.
