Hop Rhizomes for sale - 2013

[drsmurto]

I have hop rhizomes for sale again.

Very limited amount of Victoria and plenty of Chinook. These are the only 2 varieties I grow now.

Same deal as always, $10 per rhizome plus postage.

I will package each rhizome in damp coir to keep moist.

1-2 rhizomes will fit in a 500g express post satchel for $11
3+ rhizomes will need to go into a 3kg express post satchel for $15.

Payment is by bank deposit only.

PM me with your order, don't create a list.

In previous years I have suggested storing the rhizome in the vegie crisper until Spring or after the last frost. A small admission. Despite giving that suggestion for the last few years I have expanded my hop plantation by planting the new rhizomes as I am digging them up i.e. now. All have grown despite the chilly hills winter although they are protected by being underground and covered by an additional 10+cm of horse manure.

Sounds good do you think they would grow in a tropical climate?

[drsmurto]

Maybe. Depends how far north you are.

Forgot to add that I won't send hop rhizomes to WA or Taswegia due to quarantine restrictions.

I did a little googling apparently they grow ok in the tropics the just never flower. Ill stick to growing my Bananas (still yet to use some in beer).
