The demand for blueberries has increased significantly in recent years, not only for blueberries in the food retail trade, where blueberries have now replaced strawberries as the most popular soft fruit in terms of kilograms sold. A steadily increasing demand can also be observed for blueberry plants that are commercially available. This can only be explained by the fact that blueberries as a fruit are something like 'everybody’s darling', i.e. they appeal to (almost) every palate...

Since it is the strongest crop in terms of numbers and therefore also the most important, the raspberry is the focus of attention at both Lubera® and Lubera Edibles, whether in breeding, young plant production or finished product production. The raspberry is and remains our 'bread and butter' crop. Because of this significant position, we cannot avoid dedicating a separate podcast to the production of raspberry plants. Even if you already produce raspberry plants it is worth...

Read moreLubera 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...

In addition to the classic fruit breeding programmes, such as apple, raspberry, strawberry and currant, the Lubera® breeding team is also starting to breed wild fruit species. On the one hand this is to improve the sometimes quite underdeveloped or unattractive plant or fruit characteristics, but also to combine usefulness with ornamental values. On the other hand, it is always a question of creating one's own variety base. In this podcast, Markus Kobelt, the breeding mastermind at Lubera®...

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.
