Glen: An old saying is that is always darker immediately after a storm..
An apple orchard will appear that way too. Unfortunately, many times it does
not get any better. The number and size of the dings determine the ultimate
result and if not too bad, there can be considerable recovery
Our sympathy on the damage sustained from hail. We know what it's like as we
had hail damage 3 consecutive years when the apples were about 1 1/2 diameter.
Only 3 minutes of hail and the apples looked like they had been rolled in

My home orchard of very young trees (basically not bearing fruit yet) also
got hit by the hail and wind and it looks like someone went through and cut

In early July 2001 we experienced a pretty good hail storm on our 25
acres of apples. All fruit had at least dents, many multiple skin
pierces. Crop insurance adjuster called it 100% loss. We sell all of
our crop retail, mostly pyo.
It was heartbreaking for the entire season to look at

Fellow Growers,
Isn't Al Gore the new weather expert? Perhaps he could share his keen
insight on the greater occurrence of hail in New England.
On the serious side, when I am faced with some hard trouble I always remind
myself of James chapter 1, verses 2 through 5:
Glen,
My wife and I just bought a small established orchard almost two years
ago. Wouldn't you know it, our first year as growers and we had not 1,
