Re: hop rhizome
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.

Re: hop rhizome
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.

Re: hop rhizome
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!

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