According to local growers, Drape Net saved between 3000 and 4000 bins of fruit following a localised hail storm in Orange, NSW last November.
Michael Cunial who distributes Drape Net said the net has proven its robustness, effectiveness and value once again by protecting trees and their crop during the severe hail storm, and by the net not being damaged.
Grower response
According to Michael, one grower affected by the storm ordered more net for a second, exposed orchard.
Another orchardist had 95% of his crop covered and said he would have either picked his crop for juice or sprayed it off, if not for Drape Net.
“Thanks to Drape Net it’s business as usual after the storm,” the grower said.
Hail also severely damaged fruit under permanent net that contractors hadn’t got to roll out.
