How figs bear more fruits faster
Everywhere - even in Northern Germany Let’s begin this article about figs in Northern Germany. Specifically in Bad Zwischenahn, at our nursery in Ammerland. One year ago now, I put a fence around my own private terrace, in the old garden of our predecessor, (yes, f-e-n-c-e-d it!) with...
Lollipop or the breeder’s happiness
2013 was not a disastrous year. But it was such a year in which I was unable to get much done. I had already missed the apple summer. There had been way too much work in the nursery, shops and I had travelled. I had hardly had the chance to peacefully check on my breedings, to walk through the...
Hi, my name is Cuckoo!
The breeder, Markus Kobelt, is now allowed to speak (very briefly): “It is of course the dream of every breeder to newly create a plant, a type of fruit, or to combine new properties in an unknown way that go beyond the respective breeding and are shaped throughout many...
What exactly are Lubera® Easytrees®?
Simple fruit trees. And they are easy because they continue to bear fruit without major training measures and pruning techniques and they grow to be spindle trees that are not too big. In order to avoid misunderstandings: Easytrees are not a variety or group, they are a particular tree shape,...
Strawberry Tiramisu

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.

2000+ plants – for you
At Lubera it's not just about the fruit and berry garden, it's about the entire garden, and more precisely, about the mixed garden. We love the mix like in this garden example: Clematis, roses, perennials, kiwis, evergreens, conifers and a Prunus ‘Kanzan’ hiding on the far right. And we have all the plants that you need for your own mix!
