The Philadelphia Orchard Project has been planting orchards since 2007.  In terms of planning out crops for the future, they're preparing for warmer growing seasons.

Representatives from the nonprofit organization note that they've seen lost crops more frequently as winters become warmer. The potential impact is that traditional fruit trees that have thrived for centuries in Philadelphia could be replaced by other produce like bananas or kumquats.

Not all varieties will be affected, but the Philadelphia Orchard Project says they are experimenting with subtropical and Mediterranean fruits, like citrus and bananas, which thrive in warmer climates.

The nonprofit organization plants orchards in formerly vacant lots, community gardens, and other spaces, primarily in low-wealth neighborhoods where people have limited access to fresh fruit.
