Drought impact on Christmas trees
SUMMARY: Construction workers are laying new concrete on the northbound lanes amid concerns about rain and ongoing drought impacts. Hinds County, Mississippi, is an example where the Christmas tree farm has been hit hard by the weather. Last December’s freeze killed about 80 trees, and the drought has worsened the situation, leaving over 300 dead trees out of their usual 1,000 healthy ones. The farm owners worry about tree performance after cutting due to the drought’s impact and are advising customers to wait until after Thanksgiving to get their trees, as they’re unsure of the trees’ longevity under current conditions.
Rain may be on the way, but it will be too little, too late for a Mississippi Christmas tree farm.
