Description

Willamette Hop Rhizome

Grow your own hops at home. Willamette Hop Rhizomes are grown in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Rhizomes are shipped in moistened peat moss and sealed in a plastic bag to maintain optimum health and viability. The grower will harvest the next rhizome crop near the end of March and we should see them mid to end April.

Have your rhizomes potted before May!

Grower Notes

Needs warm temperatures to really get going.  Crown buds form relatively high, so they need winter protection by hilling the rows in fall or mulching. Of the Fuggle types, Willamette is the slowest to break winter dormancy. does less than optimum in areas with lake effect cooling or if spaced too tightly or planted too closely. Tolerant of a wider range of pH and soil types than most hops.  42” in-row or cluster spacing.

IMPORTANT: This is a pre-order item and will ship early to mid April. It's best to place a separate order for Rhizomes. Orders that include Rhizomes along with other product will all ship together in April.
