Hail Kist
We have many peaches still on the tree, but they are all Hail Kist. The sunday storms included big hail. the hail and heavy rain knocked much fruit off the tree and scared the remaining fruit. While we have a great deal more fruit to ripen it will more than likely all have some mark on the skin
