The French TRUFFLE TREES
Distributed by Triffid Park

Grow your own Truffles.
Your very own fresh truffles...A gourmet's delight...But where to get them?
Your long cherished dream of having your own little bit of France is now here.  For you can grow your own delicious truffles in your backyard, or even on your patio or deck.
Yes, the mystique of the French Perigord black truffle is simplified with this oak tree inoculated under laboratory conditions with black truffle spore (Tuber melanosporum).
You can leave your prized truffle in its pot, or better still, plant it in a half wine barrel.    WHAT A TALKING POINT!
This oak tree will enhance your garden if planted directly into the ground.
Truffles should form below the ground in the winter after a few years.  Truffle growers need a little bit of patience.  But "VOILA" it will be worth it.  Just sniff the ground from time to time during the winter months and you won't miss the overwhelming, pungent and sensuous odour of a ripe truffle.  PURE ECSTASY!
