Tuber brumale is not native to or intentionally cultivated in North America, it was reported to have been accidently introduced into British Columbia in 2014 and North Carolina in 2020. We review strategies for limiting their impact on truffle cultivation.

      Hi Michael! Thank you for connecting with me, I would love to talk truffles! I am in Acton, so not far at all. I absolutely understand the cost factor, the investment start an orchard properly is quite intimidating, add land on to that…I am blessed with a family farm that is not being used currently. It is out near out near Kingston; I have had enough of the GTA and need the country life I was so desperate to escape from after university! My parents said I would be back… I will send you an email from my personal email as I tend to check it more. Thank you again!

          It really does, and I have to thank you Fabrice, for your continued help in this. It is such a new industry in Ontario and the agricultural academic community has been very reticent to assist me. To the point where the they will not respond to my emails or calls, it is disillusioning.

            Thank you for your insight Fabrice! My husband and I were also considering lime screenings mixed with limestone gravel as they are somewhat water soluble (two birds..) but worried about compaction. Thank you for the insight into cost. My business plan is becoming a novel now!

              Fabrice,
              Thank you so much for the information! I will definitely share every thing I bring together for the analysis and subsequent business plan with you and members. With your permission I would like to address some of the points you made above in my analysis, and expand on them, perhaps with some of Ian R. Hall’s (et al.) work from “Taming the Truffle”? Let me know, and thank you again!
              Ruth
