Hop Plants.

[johnnyboy1965]

Due to the fact that my hop plants have started very early this year Im wondering if anyone wants some cuttings. I grow Challenger, Target ang Progress on my allotment, and I have the same in large tubs that I use for taking cuttings (Mother Plants). These are nowhere near ready yet and cuttings wont be available until mid May. Just guaging interest if anyone is interested in them. I cant charge for something I do for enjoyment, so your all welcome to them.
I do have some well formed rooted cuttings from last year, that again, are free of charge for those who want to collect.

I'm still tempted by your plants John. How much room would a full flowering plant take up?

 

[johnnyboy1965]

The plants that I offered you for sale are the mother plants.
Growing size....how about 20-25 ft high, though you can train them along a fence

Hmm, I think I at least want the challenger, would me buying just the one suit you as I understand you've offered them out a bit now :)

Can hops be grown out of a tub/ planter? I've got the perfect wall to train them but the ground is paid over underneath.

Yes, obviously the bigger the better. Half oak barrels are ideal, but expensive.

If there are any available I would like to be put on the list please. Paying for your time, postage and packing is not a problem, so pm me for the amount required and I will send by either post or Paypal.

Thankyou

Hi Johnny,

I like gardening and beer too! If you would be prepared to try and post me a couple of cuttings up to Scotland I would very much love to try and grow them. Obviously I would cover the PnP and send you something in return.

Cheers,

DirtyC

Please put me down on the list too
Many thanks

Thanks for all the interest. All your names have been noted. As I said they are nowhere near ready yet and wont be until mid May, at the earliest. These cutings will be 12 months behind rhizomes, so your looking at a minimum of 2 years before you can harvest (what the hell, theyre free). Ive got a few ideas on how to post them, but maybe other gardeners might come up with some ideas.

Damp kitchen roll into a plastic sealable bag and into a jiffy bag works no probs. Mid may to end of may would suit me brill as thats when swmbo comes back over. Had some sent to turkey in the past, first lot got sent back by customs -i got an empty bag!! and second lot took too long to get here and didnt grow at all. So this year i am determined to get some cuttings/rhizomes here in good shape so i can grow my own as thats the one thing that i struggle to get sent here. :
