The Christmas tree farm near Lennox has received very little rain since early summer so the trees lacked the moisture to allow them to grow as tall as usual in a season. While the farm might typically have seven feet tall trees for sale, those may be scarce this year with trees being perhaps just six feet in height. The lack of rain was also very hard on the newly planted trees.
Customers are urged to give the trees plenty of water and care after the dry growing season.
