flag Ohio's rare apple grove faces removal due to invasive species, setting back disease-resistant breeding efforts.

flag A rare apple grove at Ohio's Dawes Arboretum, planted by a researcher two decades ago with seeds from Central Asia, faces removal by 2027. flag The arboretum cites unmanaged invasive species as the reason, but scientists argue the collection is an irreplaceable genetic resource vital for developing disease-resistant apples and reducing pesticide use. flag While a few trees will remain, advocates say the loss would set back U.S. breeding efforts by decades.
