Thanks Wayne and everyone,
This is some kind of radical (unplanned) experiment I have going here. Upon
first glance after the hail and wind storm, I thought my only option was to
prepare for next year. The morning after, most of the new growth leaves had
stood back up, although they looked like someone had taken a machine gun to
them. Today, I was able to clean up all of the destroyed leaves, vines and
fruit. What I have now is about a 15' to 20' circle in the center of each
plant that is basically just vines. I definitely won't have any trouble
getting to the vines to spray for vine borers!

Prune out the most severely damaged leaves....leave the others and let
me
know what the plant looks like on july 15th. I bet you will be
surprised....plenty of time left to set fruit in a couple weeks.
