- Grower notes: reported resistance to mildews and pests. This hop seems to be a high-strength version of Fuggle. It does not grow like Fuggle (as the internet suggests). It has a unique herringbone-type growth with red bines and petioles. It is also very heat and drought tolerant. No disease or pest issues noted in trials. Even loopers leave it alone. A good candidate for organic production in southern latitudes. Tolerant of poor and compacted soil types.
