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.

A Peltham Golding X 63012M cross. (The German hop “Perle” shares the Peltham Golding parentage.) A dual purpose bittering/flavoring hop with heavy aroma; spicy, pine-resiny with grapefruit notes. Good pick-ability with 24-40” side arms. Popular with both craft and major brewers; thus grown by many Midwest growers as a “workhorse” hop.

- Alpha Acids: 10-14%, betas 3-4%, cohumulone 29-34%, total oils 1.5-2.7%, myrcene 35-40%, humulene 18-25%, caryophyllene 9-11%
- Aroma: moderately high , spicy, piney, grapefruit tones
- Yield: High – 1600 -2200 lbs/acre, large open cones, medium late maturity
- Maturity: medium late, good cone set
- Storage stability: large heavy cones, dries well, good 60-75% remaining
- Beer Styles: pale ales, lagers, IPAs, steam beer, and heavy bodied dark ales.
- Grower notes: Slower to emerge from dormancy; thus later to harvest. It is the variety all other hops in the Midwest are compared to for vigor and yield. Chinook forms large primary bines and climbs well with consistent yields. Shows better resistance to mildews and pests than most varieties. Notably forgiving of soil types, drainage, and less-than-perfect growing conditions. 42” in-row spacing.
- Trellis types: 14’x 42 even or cluster
- Fully rooted plant - NOT a rhizome. A rhizome is a part of a hop plant's root system that grows horizontally underground putting out shoots.
