Damage by hail hits West Virginia orchards belt
Hail damaged fruit across a 1.5 mile belt from Paw Paw in Morgan county through Hedgesville Tomahawk and Jones Spring in Berkeley county. About half the fruit on affected trees was knocked off or pitted reducing market value, though the number of affected orchards is small relative to total apples in the belt. Some hail areas were so damaged fruit could be shoveled away.
