The following specific defects shall be considered as damage:

Cracks outside of the stem cavity when deep or not well healed, or when the crack has weakened the cherry to the extent that it is likely to split or break in the process of proper grading, packing, and handling, or when materially affecting the appearance;

Hail injury when deep or not well healed, or when the aggregate area exceeds the area of a circle three-sixteenths inch in diameter;

Insects when scale or more than one scale mark is present, or when the appearance is materially affected by any insect;

Limbrubs when affecting the appearance of the cherry to a greater extent than the amount of scarring permitted;

Pulled stems when the skin or flesh is torn, or when the cherry is leaking;

Russeting when affecting the appearance of the cherry to a greater extent than the amount of scarring permitted;
