Summer raspberries are among the first berry fruits that delight our palate during the fruit year. In addition, they are not affected by the spotted wing drosophila due to their early ripening time.

Citrus Plants: the Right Care for...
The location is important Citrus plants are not hardy and therefore must be protected from frost during the winter months. So it depends on the winter and the summer location whether the citrus grows, blossoms and fruits. An unsuccessful overwintering regularly affects the growth...
A SONG OF PRAISE FOR THE STRAWBERRY...

Bred and made in Switzerland
We breed and produce our plants in the Rhine valley, in Switzerland, in the middle of the Swiss Alps. That goes without saying that our plants are very resistant.
Markus Kobelt - founder and breeder of Lubera
This is how the well-known Swiss photographer Stöh Grünig photographed Markus Kobelt, the founder of Lubera. Markus is almost all covered up by his apple tree seedlings... Markus' passion is breeding new, better and more resistant fruit and berry plants. In the last 10 years, Lubera has bred and introduced more than 80 new varieties to the market. And there's no end in sight.
