Summary of the idea/dream: Selecting heat-loving plants resistant to cold
I live in Iceland. Most of you probably have not been here, and you do not know how our country looks like. We do not have too much of trees growing here because of soil and climate. Green is mostly bushes, grass or bushy trees. Of the same reason fruit trees are grown usually in greenhouses. And you probably can imagine what a miracle for me are the words of my friend living in Jerusalem about orange trees growing just along the streets! So, I have a dream concerning all the heat-loving plants - to make them not that heat-loving! Probably, these words shall be addressed to our scientists. They could select orange trees so that they could grow and ripen in cold climates. And not only orange trees. Just think how many fruits, vegetables, flowers are not even known to the inhabitants of North only because they do not grow in cold places!
