Chris,
You will be surprised how fast they compensate and bounce back. Don

Subject: Help! Plants damaged by hail storm!


>   Hey Everybody!

hail storm.  We had 70 mph winds that have damaged only the leaves and a
couple of stems.  The leaves have been punctured multiple times by the hail
and torn from the wind.   Thank god I put a wind break or I think I may have
lost everything.  I was just wondering if there is something I can do to
help the plants repair themselves?  They seem to be in shock, especially my
largest plant.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
