Will post a few Sunday of what I have left, When they have gone I will
give out an email address from where you can get some more of the above
in around one months time. Though am out of Perle, I do have some Hersbruker.
No more PM's orders/enquires please, can deal with the few PM orders I have left ok
...which I will answer tomorrow.

Hi guys,
Have so few left from this last batch its not really worth posting them here. As am digging up some
more in about week, then more a few weeks after that. I have decided it would be a lot more straight
forward for me to put you on a 'Rhizome' list, (leeboy and Marcus you are on the top of the list).
To go on rhizome list email me:
[email protected] with subject line HOPS, and just your username
in the body of email. You will get a short confirmation reply that you are on the list, hopefully within 24hours.
I will send "rhizomes available" email to a small number of people at a time, starting at the top of the list,
when they are sent off, will contact the next few people.
(I do have some 'jumbo' size rhizomes to dig up much later, which will be good if you require just one
supersize rhizome.)
Just a few of the rhizomes don't have buds formed yet, this photo: "Budding variations"
HERE are of "Tardiff de Bourgogne", showing six variations in rhizome buds: #1 is typical, #2 & 3 buds still to form,
#4 tiny bud just forming, #5 a couple of side shoots, #6 a huge bud! #7 buds everywhere, top, side and base of rhizome.
Some "Cluster" rhizomes, photo:

If rhizomes you receive are in not top condition ...damaged etc. ...or any other problems let me know.
Plant a soon as possible, good drainage is important (otherwise there is a risk of rotting in winter). If
you have soil you can grow veggies in it will be ideal for hops ...maybe with a bit of extra manure
Otherwise buy a bag of good quality potting mix (use an Australian Standard - Certified Product it has
a marking of 5 white ticks on red background) dig hole(s), fill with potting mix and plant rhizome in a
slight mound, this will guarantee very good drainage with no chance of rotting. Some manure in hole
first is good.
It's lots of fun growing hops
Rupert.
