Description

Truffle trees make perfect gifts for people who enjoy their food. They are unusual presents for any occasion – birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, weddings or retirement. Simply plant a truffle tree and sit back and wait for your truffle crop to develop. In optimum conditions, these trees start to produce truffles 4-7 years from planting1. You can choose from the following tree species

  • English (pedunculate) oak (Quercus robur)
  • Evergreen (holm) oak (Quercus ilex)
  • European hazel (Corylus avellana)

that has had its roots inoculated with either:

We are sorry but we do not currently have every combination available. The Species pull-down list above will show what is available.

The trees are generally between 1 and 2 years old and are all UK grown. The age will vary depending on tree and truffle species. Hazel trees are typically between 30cm and 60cm tall. Oak trees vary in size from around 10cm to 30cm. Both species will be taller later in the year. They are grown in rootrainers (deep seed trays, divided into separate segments) and the soil / roots are wrapped in film to be sent out.

For further information on growing, tree and truffle species, soils, planting, buying, delivery, travelling with trees and looking for truffles, please see our Truffle Tree FAQ (Frequently asked questions) before contacting us.

You may choose to have each truffle tree individually gift bagged with a tag (please supply greeting in the ‘Order notes’ at the checkout) or packed ready for planting. All trees come with a planting booklet. Please let us know if you require more than one with your order.

We can also send truffle tree gift vouchers by email if you would like to give trees as a present to be delivered at the recipient’s convenience. These include the cost of GB mainland standard delivery but are not available for EU addresses.

1The trees are all certified as being inoculated with the appropriate truffle fungus. They will however, only produce truffles under optimum conditions – if the tree remains healthy, is watered and the soil conditions are right then you may produce truffles.


Important

The English Truffle Company accepts no liability for truffle tree losses due to unsuitable or inadequate planting and growing conditions.


We produce several newsletters per year with truffle news, events, goods, services and offers.

Thoroughly recommend

I would thoroughly recommend The English Truffle Company to anyone. Their service is impeccable – James was on hand at all times to answer any queries and they even sent me out an extra truffle tree by next day delivery so that it arrived in time for Christmas even though it was the parcel company that had misplaced the package. Their products are very luxurious despite being very well priced. 5* company all round! Will definitely be buying from The English Truffle Company again!

If you would like your trees sending, you must choose a paid delivery option.

Got a gift voucher?

You can order your tree(s) from this page. It is fairly straightforward and most people manage unguided. If you need help the stages are:

  • Choose the number of trees, tree and truffle species.
  • Choose “Packed ready for planting“.
  • Press the “Add to basket” button.
  • Press the “View the basket” button.
  • On the Basket page, enter your voucher code into the long grey box.
  • Press the long button just below – “Apply gift voucher or coupon code“.
  • You should get a “Coupon code applied successfully.” message above.
  • Press the long button “Proceed to checkout” at the bottom right of the page.
  • Fill out the required details on the checkout page and finally press the “Place order” button.
  • When we have processed your order we will send you a confirmatory email.

Please note: Our price per tree gets lower as the number ordered increases. The value of gift vouchers for more than one tree assumes you are ordering one group of that quantity. For example, one group of four trees plus standard delivery is covered exactly by a voucher for four trees. If you order this as two groups of two trees, your voucher will not cover the full amount. If you would like your group to be made up of a mixture of tree and/or truffle species, this is handled by using the “Own Selection” options and specifying your requirements in the order notes.

You can upgrade to Express delivery if you would like your trees quicker or to arrive on a specific date. You will have to pay the difference in cost from standard delivery.

Should you have any problems using your voucher, please look at the information on this and the truffle tree FAQ page then contact us with:

  • Your name
  • A telephone number
  • Gift voucher code
  • Details of the tree species
  • Details of the truffle species
  • Delivery address
  • Any notes e.g. where to leave the tree(s) if you are out.
