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: 13.5-17.0% 
  • Maturity: Moderately Late
  • Yield: High 2300-2840 lbs/acre
  • Storage stability: Good 60% of alpha acids remaining after 6 months
  • Aroma: balanced bittering type hop. Fairly pungent, resiny flavor.
