Hop Rhizomes/Plants?

Post by Ragingkileak » Sun May 18, 2014 9:02 pm

Hi guys,

I know I am a bit late for planting (especially Rhizomes) but I've just had a new raised bed built and I'd like to try a couple of hop plants. I'd like to be selective, but I can't find anywhere sticking either Rhizomes or plants anywhere in the UK.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm in Yorkshire by the way. Alternatively, if anyone is willing to break a plant up and send me some I'd happily contribute postage and beer tokens! Ideally, I'd like Hallertau but considering the availability ( or lack of) I'd consider most kinds.

Thanks

Matt

These guys appear to be still selling plants.

Bit pricey if you ask me but if you really want one now then they're a good bet and very reputable.

Gents, thanks .

Even though their prices are positively offensive, I've ordered some from A Plus. Fingers crossed!

I've been waiting for ages for these plants to not be "pre-order" anymore - kind of forgot about them - so reading this reminded me! thank you. Ment to sort some rhizomes earlier in the year but never got round to it....
