An orchard owner in Media worried about the thousands of peach, pear and apple trees as it has been 23 days without measurable rain in the Delaware Valley. Without enough rain, the trees will not produce as many flower buds, which could lead to less fruit in 2025.
Christmas trees may be stressed by the dry conditions and not retain their needles as well as usual.
