【 摘 要 】

This article discusses the expansion of apple orchards in Santa Catarina State, Brazil, and the relationship between this expansion of orchards and hailstorms since the 1960s. The hail was built as a disaster in scientific and non-scientific records related to pomiculture in Santa Catarina. To interpret how hailstorms became a major player in the construction of the history of pomiculture in Brazil, I used technical documents, creative writings, historical documents and ordinary accounts on hailstorms, as well as recent academic production on this climatic phenomenon. The discussion took into account the emerging field of research of Environmental History, and Disasters.
