Drought hampered the growth of Christmas trees on a tree farm near Huntsville. The trees typically grow one and a half to two feet and then need shaping, but this year, there was little growth. Some Virginia pines were about six inches shorter than normal. WHNT-TV News 19 Huntsville (Ala.), Oct. 18, 2016
