Drought down under!

A particularly dry summer this year has left Sydney, Australia with a huge shortage of real Christmas Trees as reported in the Sydney Morning Herald today.

With the Christmas tree season beginning this weekend, growers have reported that their crops would be up to 75% smaller than previous years due to the dry conditions over the last year.

The Aussie phrase “up the gumtree” springs to mind!
