Lubera Edibles Gardeners Radio Markus Kobelt, Frederik Vollert

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.

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.

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.

In this new podcast season, we once again take you on a journey through horticultural production. As in the first podcast season, Robert Maierhofer, the operations and production manager at Lubera®, accompanies us through the production topics and answers our questions about the tricks of the trade when it comes to plant production.
In the first production podcast of this new season, we also introduce a new young plant product: our Treeling®, the new fruit tree young plant. Learn how to produce the perfect fruit tree with our fruit tree young plants.

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.

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 you with the interesting varieties that await you.
