Seed originated from Canada about 20 years ago. 3 plants survived - and were given to others in different areas to grow on. Since then they have proliferated and YES they are used for beer making quite successfully
They were named the W-tree hops.

Great video thanks Earle. I thought my hops were way too small but only a little smaller than in the video.

We are moving in a few weeks so I'm going to dig them up. Should be a lot of rhizomes for trading
