An apple orchard owner in Sewell irrigated his trees to keep them from showing stress from the lack of moisture with drying, shriveling leaves. The popular fall activity of picking apples ended early this fall because there was concern about leaving the apples on the branches too long for fear that next year’s crop may be affected. The orchard owners were praying for rain.
