An irrigation pond at an apple orchard in Shoreham went nearly dry over a three month stretch this summer. The apples turned out smaller and fewer in number this year, but they’re much more flavorful. Unirrigated apple trees were stressed and infested with red mites. The Boston Globe (Mass.), Sep 25, 2025
