*Attached VF number denotes variety has been obtained from the NCPN (National Clean Plant Network) in an attempt by GLH to build corresponding Nuclear mother stock for propagation purposes only. Due to the rapid rate hops re-acquire viruses, this designation is not a guarantee by GLH that any stock produced from these plants are or will remain Virus Free. Furthermore, VF varieties obtained from the NCPN are obtained by GLH as unrooted cuttings and may take 2 years or more to be ramped up to production level quantities.

Disease/Virus Disclaimer

Great Lakes Hops strives to provide the cleanest planting stock of Hops Plants available. We are a MDARD licensed and inspected plant nursery.
We do not claim our planting stock is certified or guaranteed virus-free, even though we make every attempt to propagate from VF registered mother stock obtained directly from the NCP program when available; due to the rapid rate hops re-acquire viruses.
We guarantee our plants to be female, with mature root developments and shipped as either a field grade, non-dormant plant - or - as a dormant hop crown depending on season
Our stock is verified, labeled, and guaranteed to be a clone of the variety we obtained from the NCPN ONLY.
GLH is not responsible for variety misidentification made by the NCPN.
All orders are subject to a limited Plant Replacement Policy, Buyer pays replacement shipping if applicable.
