Did you have any particular variety in mind?

I've got a few plants but would want to wait a couple or three more weeks before splitting them.

I'm not fussy really...something for bittering northern brewer, target would be nice anything really.
I tried to grow cascade but it didn't really go ...If there are any successful American varieties it would be nice but i know there difficult to get and possibly grow.

OK, plants that are big enough to be split or dug up are:
Target
Bramling Cross
Sussex
Fuggles

Also potential ones are English Cascade and Bullion, but I would have to check with a friend to see if they are viable to take a cutting or rhizome from as they are only second year plants.

Your Cascade may not have taken due to your location. I have found out today that hops were even grown commercially as far North as Aberdeen, lack of sunlight is the reason they are not grown there now! :shock:

I've got Goldings, Fuggles and WGV.
You are welcome to come and harvest the excess useable rhizomes.
