Young Chinese pistache hit by golf-ball hail 2 weeks ago. Photos show top-of-branch impact wounds, healing. Trunk and main branch wounds visible. Some shredded leaves.
Classic hail damage: one-sided, impact wounds, shredded leaves. Wounds healing but monitor for dark discoloration (disease entry).
No pruning paint—ineffective.
Monitor wounds for darkening; prune out if appears.
Fertilize/water during heat/drought.
Protect trunk from mowers/string trimmers.
Small twig wounds may weaken branches—watch for wind breakage.
