+1 for petes answer, also if you find any ladybirds in the garden stick them on the hop plants they love aphids.

Thought this thread needed a bump so here are my pics.
Fuggles is doing the best and always has done and now in its 4th year.
View from the top deck as it climbs over the hand rail!
Bramling X is also in year 4 but was very slow to get started.
This one is Willamette in year 3 having been grown from seed and will be the first year of producing hops - hopefully!
And a family picture
Fuggles on the left, Willamette in the middle and BX on the right.

Same here, nice to know I'm not alone!mixale said:
my fuggle got all three braches snapped in the wind the other week, so had to train new shoots, they are already five foot long, that is about 4" a day!
the goldings in much slower grower it is just past 12' now.
will have to dig them out and rebed them next winter, root stock is huge!

No need to dig the main root out, just get rid of all the rhizomes/horizontal roots.prolix said:

I cant believe how well the fuggle and phoenix and growing. Its actually a bit frightening. If I grow old and die in this house, the people who buy it will have a hell of a job cutting their way through the impenetrable mass of hops out the back!

I know it's very late in the season, but have been playing about with Rhizomes and have ended up with quite a few growing Goldings.
These are free to collect by anyone who is interested.
