Growing Hops What Now?

[Paul H]

Guys,
Planted this Chinook Rhysone 3 weeks ago &was wondering what I should do at this point? Behind the pot is a trellis about 2m high & 2m wide, should I lead it onto that or rig up some wire?



Cheers
Paul

I would put it in the ground.
The growth over the first couple of years is mainly in the root - preparing you for a monster crop a few years down the track. If you have a permanent location for it planned - put it in the ground before it gets too much bigger.
