Severe drought in Maine led one Christmas tree grower in Wells to water his 3,000 newly planted trees by hand in an effort to keep them alive. Six of the last eight years have been particularly dry. An irrigation system is too pricey for a tree farm his size, so he continues to rely on rain and hand-watering to keep his trees alive.
