Hop rhizomes

[leondz]

It's that time of year again, isn't it? Where do I get rhizomes from? Ordered a few from Germany a couple of months ago but sadly they rotted en route What are the good suppliers and are there any interesting recommended varieties?

I found this site

http://www.willingham-nurseries.co.uk/hop.html

But have no idea how good they are. We are going to be moving as this isnt our house for much longer so no point in plating at the moment. Be really interesting to hear how you get on though! :thumb:

I'll be lifting my Fuggle this year . . . and will probably have loads of rhizomes to pass on . . . Just waiting for the growth to die back . . . should be lifting in the next week or so . . . I'll just want postage to ship them out.

Personally I'm surprised the hops from Germany didn't take . . . I'm ordering from there this year though.

I'd quite like a rhizome if you have one spare Aleman :thumb:

Why are you lifting your fuggle?

Its very simple really . . . Space . . . after three years it has really outgrown the area I had for it . . . my plan is to lift it and split it into three or 4 plants and replant into a raised bed . . . which should give me a bit more height . . . plus I then need to sort out some sort of supporting mechanism for it . . . the 8 ft poles just don't cut it . . . and they are starting to ask for the minimum wage :lol:

To all that asked . . . and all that would like some . . . the answer is yes . . . when I've lifted it and split it up I'll post details. . . . Just be very aware that Fuggles is a traditional hop and the bines will grow to 20-25 feet . . . possibly reaching 30 in a good year

Also remember that hops are a fairly invasive plant and will take over any part of the garden you plant them in . . . you have been warned!!

If you think they will grow this far north and you have One left I welcome the opportunity to have a go at growing my own Fuggle Hop :thumb:

Does anyone have any cascade rhizomes they might like to sell to me at all?

I may try to buy some otherwise. I'd be interested to know what varieties can withstand the UK weather.
