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: 13-15% w/ relatively low cohumulone offer superior foam and mouth feel.
  • Aroma: faint spice and citrus, bittering type w/ little harshness
  • Maturity: mid-season – Mid to late August
  • Yield: High, 1340 - 1700 lb/ acre plus, good cone size and pick-ability.
  • Storage stability: 80%-85% alpha acids remaining after 6 months storage < 70° F
  • Grower notes: Comes out of the ground well with large primary bines and is easy to train. Some resistance to mildews and pests.  A large variety that is only slightly less vigorous than Galena. Takes two seasons to establish. Prefers acidic, well-drained soils that are high in humic acids. Raised row recommended. Shows some resistance to mildews and pests.
  • 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.
