PHOTO 431. A further example of the extent of hail damage as in Photo 430, to illustrate the coverage of the soil surface – practically overall – with a carpet of leaves and bunches that had been knocked off. Also note the damage to the trunk sections only, as illustrated by the grapevine in the 10:00 position.

PHOTO 432. A closer look at the hail damage illustrated in Photos 430 and 431. In addition to leaves and bunches, serious damage was simultaneously wrought to green, as well as partially lignified shoots.
