Plants and demographic change – edible plants as a connecting link to the younger generation

In the plant industry, we like to lean back comfortably and contentedly when we hear about demographic change. After all, it can't harm us...Older people are increasingly or at least steadily buying plants...but is this prejudice really true?

Vegetable breeding: breeding the outdoor tomato Open Sky Happy Black®

Tomatoes are a good example of how breeding vegetable varieties for the garden works. Breeding is actually easy, but it takes a lot of perseverance and above all continuity until you can finally bring a variety onto the market after six to ten years. In the following, I will briefly explain what is involved in our outdoor tomato breeding programme and how we specifically bred the Happy Black® variety.

Sugarbeauties® – the new ornamental sweet potatoes from Lubera Edibles

When the Lubera® breeding team started breeding sweet potatoes a few years ago, the original and real focus was on improved, sweeter yielding varieties for hobby cultivation in the vegetable garden. During the selection work in the seedlings, however, we quickly noticed that the diversity in leaf colour and shape was quite large. Thus, it became clear relatively quickly that it was also worthwhile to select for these characteristics. This is what we did and we are just about to release the first...

Current breeding projects in Buchs - impressions of a photographer

How can you, I thought. But Markus " Merciless" Kobelt didn't let up: Yes, exactly, to invest 1-2 days with a photo shoot in the hottest August of all times (?) on the current breeding fields in Buchs, that was his latest job to me. Now I do like to take photos. But I prefer slightly overcast skies - of course just so that the photos turn out as good as possible, certainly not because of me... But what did I notice during the photo safari, armed with the camera and with the eyes of...

Wasabi young plants – Japanese horseradish

The true wasabi plant (Eutrema japonica), also called Japanese horseradish, is a rare vegetable or spice plant that originated in Japan but is now cultivated worldwide. Everyone who regularly enjoys sushi is familiar with this green, spicy paste that brings tears to the eyes and is often touted as wasabi paste in Europe. But now the frightening truth: if at all, such pastes only include wasabi in the lower single-digit percentage range. The main ingredient is predominantly ordinary horseradish...

Horseradish young plants – the well-known medicinal and seasoning plant is also available from us

Who doesn't know horseradish? Maybe not as much as a plant, but as a root from the weekly market or the supermarket, or already processed as a white seasoning paste in a jar. (Almost) everyone knows the pungent and slightly earthy taste of this old vegetable. Or is it rather a spice? Before the widespread availability of pepper, horseradish – along with mustard – was the only hot condiment. And growing horseradish at home in your own garden is anything but difficult; moreover...

From rhubarb to Barber® - how a boring plant becomes exciting again

The future of rhubarb - with new variety families from Lubera Edibles

Once upon a time there was a plant that was also called the root of the barbarians because of its former use as a root medicinal plant: Rhubarb, Rheum rhabarbarum. And a rhubarb was a rhubarb, there were varieties but they seemed pretty interchangeable. How many rhubarb do you need in your assortment? One at the most!

How successful are outdoor tomatoes on the market? – Sales test 2022

For some years now, when breeding new tomato varieties, we have concentrated on outdoor tomatoes that are largely resistant to blight and Alternaria. In discussions, we have heard time and again that the resistance argument is not important regarding tomatoes, that customers would focus on taste, on compact growth types or on diversity (colours, shapes, stripes). Sometimes even the suspicion was expressed that the building of tomato roofs, tomato houses and the like was just part of growing...

Lubera Edibles Podcast #16: Lubera Edibles Novelties 2022/2023 - Part I

Like every year, we have prepared interesting novelties for our young plant customers. Some of these novelties are entire assortment groups that are discussed separately in separate podcasts, including the breeding background and breeding outlook. In this podcast, however, Frederik Vollert, the product developer at Lubera Edibles, and Markus Kobelt, the co-managing director of Lubera Edibles, discuss all the other new products that will be included in the range starting in 2022. Let us surprise...

Lubera Edibles Podcast #15: Not all rhubarb is the same

A look into the history of rhubarb reveals a great past. The Arabs brought the root of the barbarians, which is the transcription of the Latin/botanical name of rhubarb, to Europe. The Russian Tsar later claimed a trade monopoly on rhubarb roots. It was only towards the end of the early modern period (at the beginning of the 18th century) that rhubarb was rediscovered as a vegetable plant. At that time, rhubarb was not cultivated much compared to other fruit and vegetable species. Great things...

Lubera Edibles Podcast #12: Sugaroot® sweet potatoes – the really sweet sweet potatoes

The sweet potato is one root vegetable that is currently experiencing a boom. Especially in the food retail trade and on the weekly markets in Germany, the sweet tubers can now be found all year round. That is why the Lubera® team of breeders has also taken on this crop, with the intention of combining ornamental value with usefulness. Markus Kobelt and Frederik Vollert talk about how far the breeding goals have been achieved in this first generation of varieties.

You have the option of playing...

Lubera Edibles Podcast #11: Open Sky® Tomatoes – the outdoor tomato range

The tomato is probably the most popular vegetable in Germany, as can be seen from the constantly increasing demand and sales figures in the Lubera® online shop. Therefore it comes as no surprise that Lubera® has set up its own tomato breeding programme after a short planning phase. And the first varieties of this breeding effort will be offered starting in spring 2022 both on lubera.com as finished goods and at Lubera Edibles as young plants for all interested plant producers. Markus Kobelt...

We are pleased to present our Open Sky® outdoor tomatoes. Our Open Sky® tomatoes are designed to simplify cultivation in the home garden. By strictly selecting the healthiest plants, we have developed varieties that can be grown in the garden without further weather protection in Central Europe and they are also...

Sugaroots® – Sweet Potato Young Plants for Central Europe

Hardly any vegetable is currently as trendy as the sweet potato. With an annual per capita consumption of around half a kilo, the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is far from dominating the conventional potato (Solanum tuberosum), but the potential is there. In order to utilise this potential, at least in home gardens, we are launching the Sugaroots® sweet potato series for the 2022 spring season. These varieties were bred and selected by our partner company Lubera® in Switzerland.

Sweet potato breeding at Lubera

Sweet potatoes, Ipomoea batatas, are one of the most important crops internationally. In terms of yield, they rank number 15 among all crops, and among the root crops they are in 3rd place after potatoes and cassava. Their genetic origin and thus the place of greatest diversity is in subtropical to tropical Central America, but there are also genetic centres in South America (Peru) and in Polynesia, where the large tuberous roots stopped on their journey around the world. Exactly how sweet...

Artichoke young plants – the assortment at Lubera Edibles

With our new artichoke young plants assortment, we are making our contribution to distribute this delicious Mediterranean vegetable further in Central Europe and at the same time delighting gourmets all over the...

Artichoke young plants – more than just edible thistles

The artichoke (Cynara cardunculus subsp. scolymus; syn.: Cynara scolymus) is a popular vegetable, especially in Mediterranean countries. And it is not only the Francophiles and Italophiles among us who regularly eat this special vegetable. In our region, it is usually on the menu as a pizza topping. But the artichoke is much more. Not only for culinary reasons but also due to its gardening possibilities, the artichoke belongs in the home garden. Even when it is not harvested, this plant species...

Lubera Edibles Podcast #04: Vegetable breeding at Lubera®

After all, Lubera originated as a fruit and berry specialist, and Lubera Edibles and its predecessor and partner company Mayer produces and mainly sells berry young plants. Why are we now suddenly offering vegetables? And now Lubera is also starting to breed in the vegetable sector – do we even have a chance against the giants on the market? Markus Kobelt, interviewed by Frederik Vollert, talks about the why and wherefore of vegetable breeding at Lubera and also reveals many things about...

Lubera Edibles Podcast #03: EverVeg® - why, for what purpose and for whom?

If we offer and promote EverVeg® as a new holistic vegetable assortment, then the question arises as to why we need it, for what purpose and for whom exactly we produce or sell it. In short: is there a market for this product range? Or can we create the market? And do we want to create the market at all? After all, one could argue that it doesn't make much business sense to cannibalise a market (where you can sell plants every year) with a group of plants that are only sold every five years.
