Hmmm, might look at buying a plant if I can find one, when I dig up my north down ( see previous post " green hops" )

Good luck, it's patented.

Yeah just looking at that, the only US hop available seems to be cascade, that's fine it's a nice hop but are there any more?

Any more what? Any more US hops sold in rhizome form? If so, definitely, over here anyway.

In the early spring, I can usually get Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Cluster, Crystal, Columbus/Tomahawk/Zeus, Galena, Magnum, Mt Hood, Newport, Nugget, Sunbeam, Sterling, Ultra, Willamette, plus a few oddballs each year. If you remind me around March, I'll trade you one of the above for a Progress rhizome.

I'm finding Summit to be a superb all purpose hop.
The bitterness and flavour from early and late boil additions is fabulous....very smooth, deep and satisfying bitterness.
As a dry hop, the aroma and flavour just jumps out .... Highly recommended.

Don't see to be any over here tho, are you allowed to ship em overseas?

I don't know. We'd have to research the proper way to declare it.

From what I've read, hop style is a result of their growing environment. So English hops are caractistically English because if the long moist growing season whilst American hops develop as they do due to a much shorter, drier season.

With that in mind, I'm not sure how successful a famously American hop such as Amarillo would fare in Blighty. If it was as easy as just planting a rhizome, the whole world would be growing to top hop.

Unfortunately Amarillo is not available in rhizome.
England is a good hop growing region and non-English hops should grow there, but will differ from American grown ones.
I have goldings growing in my back yard and while not exactly like English goldings they are very tasty.

I only used Amarillo as an example.

...unless you have a trowel, ski mask and a good set of wire cutters

I know a while back there were efforts to plant Amarillo hop seeds found amongst packed hops - did anyone have success with the seedlings ?

That was bigdave, but I don't know if any of his Amarillo x. O.P. seeds sprouted for him.

[bigdave]

They're still sat in a little bag in the kitchen.

You SURE they were "hop" seeds ??
