Starting in week 36, the first bare root perennials (Peonies and Iris) will be delivered to Kébol Plants, packaged, and prepared for transport. Delivery to the USA and Canada is scheduled for week 41.
Overall, the growers are satisfied, although the results vary by cultivar. Some plots have experienced water and frost damage. Due to the abundant rainfall, the plants have had to make less effort to find water, which has made them ‘lazy.’ Fortunately, this has not affected the development of the plants. The quality is good, and the availability of 2-3 and 3-5 size peonies is excellent.
The harvest of early peony varieties began in week 32. These varieties can be stored longer under the right conditions. Kébol will supply these early varieties in the fall and winter. Other varieties will be delivered to Kébol in November and December, and packaged for delivery in January/February.
After harvesting, the peonies undergo a hot water treatment, an essential step to eliminate harmful organisms and minimize disease pressure. This treatment, followed by thorough inspection, sorting, and cleaning, ensures the quality of the peonies. The harvest is expected to be completed by the end of October.
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) inspects the plants to ensure they meet the strict export requirements for countries such as the USA, Canada, and various Asian countries. This oversight is crucial to comply with international standards and to assure your customers that the plants are free from unwanted diseases and organisms.
Although the growing season started off challenging with a wet winter and a cold, wet spring, the damage has been minimal.
The harvest of Iris germanica is slightly below average, but the quality of the plants has been good so far. August and September are crucial growth months for Iris, and the outlook for this period is positive. We are also optimistic about the future, as there is sufficient plant material remaining.
