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: 11.5- 13.5% or higher,  beta acids: 5-7%, cohumulone 30-40%
  • Aroma: fruity, blackberries
  • Yield: high, 2000 lb/acre if mildew is controlled
  • Storage Stability: very good, even at room temperature
  • Maturity: very late – too late for northern latitudes
  • Grower notes:  Very late maturity and susceptible to downy mildew.  Vigorous grower with no excess bottom growth.  42” spacing minimum.  This cultivar needs space and good air circulation or mildew is a problem.
  • Trellis types: 14’x 42’ even/ cluster
