In late eld it has been a custom at FruitMasters that Romberama append the first Junifer reddish Chuck Berry . Anyone who then decides to google the Belgian cultivator will only see amaryllis on the agriculturalist ’s website . How does that work ? Raf Rombouts : " With this combining of crops , we can engage our stave more , and it also ensures polish is spread out . " The agriculturist has been combining both crops for more than ten years .
Raf ’s red berries come from an old type of glasshouse of 8,500 square meters . “ We deliberately do not uprise outside , because that makes the season very long and then there would never be a break in the party . "
The greenhouse red berry season lasts just over a calendar month . “ At the commencement of May we are always on the market with the early red berry . The first or second workweek of June the time of year already terminate again for us . Then we have to wait until mid - August to start amaryllis again on two hectares . That season runs roughly from October to March . "
initiation and ‘ molting’With the amaryllis , Romberama is undertaking a lot of innovations . Among other things , they carry out tests with flora sensor to guarantee even better quality . They also were awarded a plunder for stress detection in plants . Not much innovation is done with the flushed berries . “ The cultivation of red berries has been fairly unchanging for years . We have a lot of contact with match who also rise early red berries in Belgium and with the test centers . However , the innovations are minimum . The openhanded leaps that we make in the cultivation of amaryllis , we do n’t make with red berries . ”
harmonize to Raf , the biggest challenge in red berry cultivation is to preclude ‘ molting ’ . “ As a grower , you want beautiful , foresightful bunches . ahead of time in the season , however , it sometimes happens that the harvest does not produce enough sugars to deform all flower into berries . Then the Charles Edward Berry fall from the clump and that is what you have to prevent . ”Raf Rombouts and his nestling with the first Junifer red Berry
First boxRaf donate the 216 euros that the first loge with 12 trays raised , to the O.V.O.K. association , Parents of a Deceased Child . Just like the fact that Romberama always appears early , this is also a custom . The Junifer ruby berries are auctioneer under the character label Prestige . “ The yield has a shiny appearance with firm and tasty flesh . It is a versatile berry diversity with a slightly sour preference . The berries have a bright red color , so they are often used to summate colour to bag , " according to FruitMasters .
