Where will the Passiflora range be in five years

Where will the Passiflora range be in five years

Winter hardy passion fruit is a novelty on the market for edible fruit plants. Thanks to Lubera's own breeding programme, Lubera Edibles is definitely a pioneer in this field.

The passion fruit range at Lubera Edibles currently consists of two varieties: Cooltropics® Eia Popeia® and Cooltropics® Snowstar®. There is strong demand for both varieties and the Snowstar® variety was awarded the gold medal for Best New Plant at the French Innovert competition in spring 2024. However...

Camellia sinensis Fresh-T®: the new tea plant varieties from Lubera Edibles

Camellia sinensis Fresh-T®: the new tea plant varieties from Lubera Edibles

Lubera Edibles now offers three different tea plant varieties (Camellia sinensis) as young plants. Can tea be cultivated and produced in Central Europe? What conditions need to be considered? How hardy are the new Fresh-T varieties? We try to answer these questions in the following article.

For those who come too early...new data on berry demand AFTER spring

For those who come too early...new data on berry demand AFTER spring

Traditionally, soft fruit plants are delivered to sales outlets and sold off in early spring. Depending on the season, there may or may not be additional deliveries. Using Google data, we show that the demand for certain types of fruit (or the corresponding terms) is sometimes continuous throughout the year or that there is a second peak after spring when the fruit in question is ripe. But can this effect also be demonstrated in specific plant sales? Are we perhaps systematically selling many...

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

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?

Current breeding projects in Buchs - impressions of a photographer

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...

The demand for fruit and berry plants compared to previous years

The demand for fruit and berry plants compared to previous years

If you talk to professional colleagues and market participants at the moment, you hear very little good news: the demand has collapsed; plants are not selling like expected and they are not being reordered. Of course, we are also feeling this subdued mood in the sale of young plants from Lubera Edibles. We therefore want to dig a little deeper to find out more about consumer demand. Are the consumers much less interested in berries and fruit plants than in previous years? Have they, at best...

Hardy Cooltropics® passion fruit: a new fruit variety and climber for the garden

Hardy Cooltropics® passion fruit: a new fruit variety and climber for the garden

Newly available from Lubera Edibles are two hardy passion fruits: Cooltropics® Eia Popeia® and Cooltropic® Snowstar®. In the next few years, the Cooltropics® series will be expanded with many new varieties from the Lubera breeding programme. This is reason enough to ask Lubera breeder, Raphael Maier, for a presentation and classification of the new fruit variety for the northern garden. How exactly do hardy passion fruits work, how can they be produced and propagated and when is the ideal time...

Figs for brave gardeners – the solution to (almost) all fig problems

Figs for brave gardeners – the solution to (almost) all fig problems

Actually, the fig should be a perfect candidate for a climate-resilient plant for our northern gardens: it knows how to deal with heat and deficiency situations, it can manage with very little water, and it reacts immediately to narrow root space and lack of mineralisation with compact growth. If it dies above ground (because it got too cold in the winter, for example), it usually regenerates from the rootstock without any problems. But as always, when a plant has travelled a very long way in...

News from Lubera® breeding - passion flowers, fire beans and co.

So come along and catch a glimpse of the exciting breeding news and what you might be lucky enough to grow in your own garden in the next few years.

Breeding hardy passion fruit

Breeding hardy passion fruit

Have you ever heard of hardy passion fruit? Probably not. When you think of passion fruit, you tend to think of truly tropical fruits from South America. And that is true. The passion fruits of the species Passiflora edulis available in supermarkets are tropical plants, just like the majority of the more than 600 species of the genus Passiflora.

The plants of the genus Passiflora are also called passion flowers and over 100 species of them produce edible fruits. These fruits are very different...

Citrus plant production with Switrus® and Citrobella® young plants

Citrus plant production with Switrus® and Citrobella® young plants

The incredible diversity of the different Citrus species and the sheer endless number of varieties are simply impressive. From the original Citrus species C. aurantifolia (limes), C. maxima (grapefruit), C. medica (citron), C. reticulata (mandarin orange), the species and varieties known today have developed over several generations of mankind. Most people who hear the name 'citrus' may first think of the lemons and oranges that we know mainly from the winter months.

From now on, we want to make...

Lubera® Citrobella® - the simple citrus assortment for container cultivation – robust, but not hardy

Lubera® Citrobella® - the simple citrus assortment for container cultivation – robust, but not hardy

In addition to the hardy lemons, we have also decided to include non-hardy but nevertheless cold-tolerant lemon varieties or species in the range. These lemons are cultivated in the home garden as classic container plants and require a cool but frost-free and bright location for overwintering, as they are also evergreen plants. As already described at the beginning, these varieties/species also have a certain tolerance to slightly negative temperatures. For the hobby gardener, this means that...

Switrus® – The hardy citrus young plants!

Switrus® – The hardy citrus young plants!

There is hardly any other plant that reflects the Mediterranean attitude to life as strongly as the lemon and citrus plants in general. Just think of the Amalfi lemons that grow along the Italian coast of the same name. If you also want to enjoy lemon plants north of the Alps, you have few options. On the one hand, you have to visit a botanical garden or grow your own container plants in your garden, with all the burdens and worries that it entails. For example, the correct and frost-free...
