SANDBLAST Related to wind damage, sandblasting of leaves occurs in sandy soils especially along the edges of the field where the wind picks up sand and pellets the leaves. Leaves are peppered with round holes due to sand shooting through. The holes may have smooth edges but as the wind continues, the edges become tattered. Bronze spotting is also often seen on the leaf surface and is due to sand bouncing off instead of going through the leaflet.
