    Another consideration might be the type of truffle you are trying to cultivate. For example, melanosporum apparently prefers an open canopy with sunlight while aestivum/uncinatum apparently fruits best in shade. So topping the trees might lead to more lateral branching and more shade.

    Hope all is well,
