We’ve entered a new consumer landscape within which health, added benefits, beauty, and taste play a large role for consumers. Plants need to attract pollinators, support the local ecosystem, and, most importantly, be of added value. Plants that offer all the above benefits and produce edible fruits are becoming increasingly popular. The following market innovations are expected to be in high demand.
Compact fruit-bearing powerhouses
Breaking the norm for small gardens, Lycium Little Goji has astounded the world with its compact size. Little Goji maintains its compact habit for life, making it a perfect fit for smaller gardens. This pollinator-friendly plant bears healthy goji-berries in its first year, making it a fascinating addition to any edible garden.
Another compact, healthy fruit-bearing plant is the Rubus BonBonBerry® Yummy. Ideal for smaller gardens, terraces, or balconies, this plant is a powerhouse of antioxidants and anthocyanin, which are beneficial for heart and blood vessel health. BonBonBerry® Yummy maintains its compact shape throughout the year, is thorn-free, and resistant to diseases, providing a reassurance of its health benefits.

Tall-growing fruit-bearers
Morus BonBonBerry® Mojo Berry gives fruits on old ánd new wood, meaning consumers can pick mulberries within the first year, as opposed to the usual 5 or 6 years it takes most other mulberries. This is a perfect patio plant that’s suitable for any garden. Unlike other varieties that only produce fruit over three weeks towards the end of summer, Mojo Berry produces berries over a very long period, from May until September.
Malus Appletini® is a fruit tree with an abundant bloom in the spring and a rich fruit set in the autumn. It is unique, as no other crab apple has tasty apples like this. Appletini grows about 3 m tall and 1.5 m wide, likes a spot in full sun, and can be planted in all soil types. It is self-pollinating, so it can be used as a solitary plant on a balcony or terrace or in a city garden.
