If any one is prepared to travel to the Adelaide Hills over the next couple of weeks, I have about thirty of each variety of these hop plants for sale:
CASCADE: This is probably the most widely used hop by Craftbrewers in the US, it has a flowery, citrusy aroma and is used commercially in brews including Little Creatures IPA and Sierra Nevada IPA. This variety was released in 1972 as a result of an open pollinated Fuggles seedling. A strong vigerous variety.
PERLE: Bred in Germany in1978 from Northern Brewer, this was an attempt to recreate a higher alpha acid replacement for Hallertauer Mittelfruher. An excellent flavour and aroma hop for European Pilsners, Wheat Beers and Lagers.
GOLDINGS: The classic dual purpose hop for English style beers, with a pleasant spicy aroma.
Plants are growing healthily in 15 cm pots, and they were propogated from thumb thick, 10cm long sections of rhizomes taken from the stock plants in June 2010. The original stock plants were purchased from "Hops West" in Perth four years ago and have been growing, virus free ever since. The parent plants are female and therefore all these vegetively produced offspring are guarranteed to be female too.
Hop plants are more usually available in the form of rhizomes during the plants winter dormant period (which has now passed) and by offering the plants now during their actively growing stage, I am just extending their availability at a time when they are not usually offered. All varieties $25 each or 3 for $60. I cannot post due to the active top growth being damaged in transit, plus restrictions on the movement of plants and compost.
I also have a limited number of all three varieties in 25 and 30cm pots which were propogated in the same manner only one year ealier (June 2009), they spent there first growing season in 15cm pots and were potted up into their bigger pots in June 2010. These are offered at $35 each.
Please note these plants are not an inferior alternative to buying dormant rhizomes in the Winter, they are just an alternative means of getting hold of them in the Summer when you cannot usually get hold of them, and you basically get the rhizomes in the pot during their active growing period, i.e they have shoots and leaves.
Best Regards Filbert.

THAT IS A REAL BARGAIN.
