Harrowed soil in a truffle orchard

To encourage more mycorrhizae growth in our old black Perigord truffle orchard (filberts) we ripped the soil 6 inches deep with a harrow. The filberts in this orchard were cut to the ground early this spring in an effort to get better control of the Eastern Filbert Blight that had finally moved into this orchard. Always trying new things at the Mountain Research Station in Waynesville. Photo by Margaret Bloomquist.
