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 Brewers Gold X Zattler diploid hybrid released in 1997.(USDA65009 X USDA64035M)  Resistant to Verticillium wilt.  Good dual purpose, with high alpha acid level. Very low cohumulone level creates a smooth beer with good mouth-feel and foam stability.  15-30”side arms. Substitutes:  Nugget is a genetically related sister, but Horizon grows totally different. 
  • Alpha acids: 11-14% good for bittering and flavoring
  • Aroma: Floral, Spicy with citrus notes ; unique High alpha/ Aroma variety
  • Yield: good 1800-2000 lbs/acre
  • Maturity: mid to late
  • Storage stability: good 68-89 very % remaining
  • Grower notes: one of the best new high alpha /aroma varieties in trials so far; grows and climbs well, with a better crown structure than Nugget.   Plant habit is notably different than most hops – with smaller, fuzzier leaves and shorter internodes.  These traits create a dense foliage that can harbor mites and powdery mildew.  A candidate for short trellis if spaced properly.  Raised row recommend.  Prefers more acidic soils. 
  • Brewer notes: Craft brewers like this hop because the very low comulone level is unusual in such a high alpha hop.  This trait makes excellent foam characteristics with very little harshness or bitter aftertaste that is common in most high alpha varieties.​
  • 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.
