Hop rhizomes 2010

[jefrey3]

From Hop Union:
Spring will be arriving quickly and Hop Rhizomes will be ready to ship.

One question that is asked a lot is, “what will grow in my climate?” Listed below are the different Rhizomes and what climate each variety will grow best in.
We are expecting the Rhizomes to ship on March 22th but that date can vary a little depending on the weather conditions. All orders shipped will include a growing information packet.

All varieties are “first come first served.”
