Turkey Oak - Périgord Truffle

Broad, open form. Vigourous once established. Suitable for timber or mixed shelter. Hardy; tolerates dry and exposed sites. Inoculated with the Périgord Black Truffle (Tuber Melanosporum).

The Périgord truffle is one of the most commercially valuable truffles in the world due to its powerful, sweet aroma. The dark brown, warty-skinned fruiting bodies can reach a size of a grapefruit. Ready for harvest in mid-Winter, grows best in high alkaline limestone soils.
