Unpopular opinion:
Old local varieties have little future. 😬 Maybe by moving them all a couple of hundred km north, but our traditional landraces weren't made for this.

Ok, maybe in *some* cases, the innate robustness will help them to cope with heat and drought, but we need to work on the issue quick.

(Modern cultivars aren't adapted either, but there is less of a stake in maintaining them in a certain geographical region)

A question to people active in Seedbanks: how are you adapting?

Spring heat while peaches were in bud, 87°F, left 3 tree with only 4 flowers between them. Miraculously 2 peaches grew. The summer has been massive amounts of rain and humidity. Blueberries and pears love it but nearly everything else has rotted. Overrun with voles and squirrels last year. This year only a couple squirrels but more rabbits. Also pines have tons of pine cones.
