We've had quite the hailstorms the past two days here in Colorado and the hail has done a number on my hops. I am new to hop growing and these are first year hops. My question is whether they will survive the beating they've taken. The tips broke off, the leaves were ripped off, and they look sad. Will they bounce back, or is there something I can do? Any help or advise is appreciated. Thanks.
I suppose I could google it, but I like you guys more.
 
Trains vs. autos and Hail vs. hops. The former usually are victorious. In the hops scenario, they end up being a little beat up but generally find a way to bounce back. You'll have a little set back this year but most likely you'll be fine as long as there's still a little green left in them. Sorry to hear.
