Had a severe thunderstorm blow through here yesterday afternoon causing some damage to Apple (Manzano), and Sweetheart just starting to bloom. They said it was 50+ mph. gusts , felt more like hurricane force winds. I have another Sweetheart in the same mat with a decent bunch of fruit on it that I thought was going to come crashing down, but it is still standing! They really are strong plants.Here's a few pics.
