Can hops be grown on the gold coast or would you have to make a micro climate?

My chinook is now growing 1 latice square a day, i'm constantly amazed at how these plats grow. Then doubly amazed when i remember that they make beer.

why do you want one mate?
ill most likely put them up on here and distribute them out to the less fortunate

consider me as being less fortunate , and the 2 wurtemburgers (actually 3 , one of the zomes got re split and is firing away)need to be reunited with theyre long lost brothers, have a plant or two here which i will try and split in the comin year in return

My hop plantation so far.
There will be a 4m+ poles erected in the next few weeks to string off.

Plenty of light, hops in centre at end of fruit tree row.

Mounds

Chinook sprouting after a bit of waiting

Columbus

Goldings - still asleep - these buds appeared, and didn't do anything, I'm remaining hopeful - stem is green and wood has died back only as far as the bud.

POR - Had some leaf curl, think it was aphids

Hersbruker

Cluster - this baby is prolific, near root-bound the pot after a couple of weeks!

[the_fuzz]

ok,

My cascade has gone nuts - now about 2.5m high (1 bine) and the other 2 are coming up just behind it.

A ) Is it ok to trim and keep at that height?
B ) Or should I someone make something for them to grow along?

Anyone able to help here?

All 3 are now at about 6-7 foot hight and my trellis is that tall - any ideas?

 

[barls]

just pinch off the tips and they will then spread sideways

 

[the_fuzz]

just pinch off the tips and they will then spread sideways

so I need to make room for them to grow sideways i assume,

hmmm back to the drawing board

 

[Lukes]

Came back this week after missing the Melbourne winter to find the old Cluster hops have sprung to life.

 

[Tim]

You shoudl be able to propagate a few cuttings from that lot!
