Jim,

Did you have any hail storms when the fruit was just developing on the
trees?  We had a number of times where we had hail storms here this
spring, sometimes when the ground was completely covered with hail that
it looked from the distance like it had snowed.  After the hail I looked
at the fruit and there are dark spots where the hail had hit the fruit.
Just a thought for you.
