Product Description

​Each item is one complete dormant crown, or a field-ready plant, depending on time of year: a plant that is a minimum of 1 growing season old with a well developed root system with multiple breaks taken from healthy vigorous stock.  It is professional quality and since it is a live rooted plant, it offers the best chance of successfully growing and producing your favorite varieties of hops.
  • Alpha acids: 9-10.5%, betas 2.8-5%, cohumulone 38-41%, total oils .95 ml/100g. myrcene 50-61%, humulene 10-25%, caryophyllene 4.3%, farnesene 3-11%
  • Aroma: hoppy bouquet with earthy, woody tones
  • Yield: good 1700 lbs +/ acre reported in dry African climate
  • Maturity: mid –season, with medium large ovate cones
  • Storage stability:  good
  • Beer styles: Belgian style Witbiers, & IPAs.
  • 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.
