CATEGORIES:

AFFECTED AREAS:
Bristol County, MA

Start Date: 12/7/2017 -  
After more than two years of drought, a North Attleboro Christmas tree grower was able to sell some trees, although he still lost about 100 to bad roots or insufficient water and hot weather during the summer. The trees were not growing as quickly as they could had they received more abundant rainfall over the summer. The Attleboro Sun Chronicle (Mass.), Dec. 7, 2017
