Q: When will my tree start producing truffles?
A: Truffles typically begin fruiting 5–8 years after planting. This can vary based on soil conditions and care. You're playing the long game now, but believe us it is worth it. 

Q: Can I plant multiple trees?
A: Yes! Planting multiple trees increases your chances of a successful harvest. Ask about our multi-tree discounts.

Q: What happens if my soil isn’t suitable?
A: That’s why we include a soil pH tester. If your soil isn’t ideal, our guide offers advice on how to amend it.
