    2. Modern fruit tree genebanks could probably learn something from Mr Appleseed.

    4. There are probably some fruit tree collections at the Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute.
    5. Saudi Arabia is betting on tree genebanks. Maybe even fruit tree genebanks.
    6. All genebanks need to share their data, according to the guy in charge of helping European genebanks share their data.
