A researcher in Maryland is working to identify apple varieties that can withstand increasingly erratic weather, after a poor apple crop was blamed on an early spring followed by a late freeze. The story, reported by Yale Climate Connections, highlights how volatile seasonal patterns are hurting orchards and why breeding or selecting hardier varieties matters for growers adapting to climate change.
Why now: A failed apple crop linked to unusual spring weather has drawn attention to agriculture's vulnerability to climate swings.
