    Gardener's talk: How do I produce strawberries in pots?
    Apr 2 2022
    The strawberry is one of the most popular berry fruits in Germany. This and the fact that strawberries develop quite quickly in pots, as well as the fact that strawberries are a plant that is usually planted as a row crop, make them interesting for horticultural production. Strawberry plants are produced and sold in a wide range of sizes. Let this podcast inspire you how quickly and easily strawberry plants can be produced with the Lubera Edibles young plants.

  • Gardener's talk: How do I produce blueberries in containers?

    Gardener's talk: How do I produce blueberries in containers?
    Mar 29 2022
    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. And the plant is quite undemanding and easy to cultivate if it likes the location. That's why we decided to do a production podcast about blueberries. Once again, the Lubera® production manager Robert Maierhofer guides us through this podcast on the topic of blueberries.

  • Gardener's talk: How do I produce raspberries? The intricacies of raspberry cultivation

    Gardener's talk: How do I produce raspberries? The intricacies of raspberry cultivation
    Mar 26 2022
    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 listening in – maybe you will learn something new. If you have never produced raspberries before, you can use this podcast as a blueprint.

    To include all the novelties in one podcast would have blown up the usual time frame. That's why we decided to do an additional novelty episode. In the first part, we went into our vegetable novelties and the citrus novelties again. In this episode, the second part of the novelties, Markus Kobelt, Co-Founder of Lubera Edibles, presents our blackberry novelties and explains why we also use varieties from other breeding programmes. Frederik Vollert, Product Developer at Lubera Edibles, presents the novelties in the wild fruit range.

  • Not all rhubarb is the same

    Not all rhubarb is the same
    Mar 11 2022
    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 can be expected for the future.
