Dry soil prevented the Tupelo Public Works Department from planting new trees according to a plan to revitalize the city’s tree canopy after damage from a tornado in April 2014. The supervisor of the Tupelo Tree Farm stated that they typically begin planting between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but the drought delayed the planting.
