- Association Wind damage export losses increased with distance downwind of natural windbreaks.
- Association Wind damage export losses increased with distance downwind of artificial windbreaks.
- Association Distance from natural shelter explained 57% of variation in exportable yield per vine.
- Observation Friction damage rejection was 3–10% adjacent to and leeward of natural windbreaks.
- Observation Friction damage rejection was 30–44% three to four rows downwind of artificial shelter.
- Observation Foliar damage and vegetative growth trends resembled wind rub damage trends.
- Mechanism Poor pollination prevented up to 40% of fruit reaching export size in partially shaded rows.
- Observation A Tatura trellis property with minimal internal shelter lost only 1% of fruit to wind rub.
- Mechanism Trellis success may reflect skimming flow caused by dense roughness elements.
