Our young plants for your success – quality assurance at Lubera Edibles®

But also edible leaves, petioles, flowers such as sea kale, tea or rhubarb. We would like to introduce our most important groups of crops in the...

Lubera® or Lubera Edibles? What is the difference between Lubera® and Lubera Edibles? The name is the same, but as similar as the name may be, the business fields of the two companies are very different.

As the new name 'Lubera Edibles' already suggests, we look beyond the borders of fruit and berry plants and also aim at other innovative ranges in the field of edible plants. The focus is on vegetable young plants in particular. With the vegetable young plants, we started by propagating rhubarb, so it is not surprising that our range is the broadest in this category. But it should not stay that way. In this article I report about the current assortment and give hints where Lubera Edibles is...
