Fig trees
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...
Read moreFigs 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.

When you travel, everything that's different often stands out. The traveller's gaze is – so to speak, the other way round. And it is shaped by what he/she has known for a long time. The traveller sees the difference and learns from it. In this respect, travel is really educating. In this short travel report I try to record some impressions concerning plants and the plant market that I noticed during a two-week trip I took to the United States in July. I have no claim to...
