Just planted mine
When I unwrapped it had shoots about 2" long on either side of rhizome
I though the fridge would have been cold enough to stop growth but obviously not
Anyway it's showing life
So I'll see how long it takes to make it out of the ground
Cheers

... so we can then swap amoungst one another for different varieties.
I think we have to learn how to divide/chop up rhizomes at the end of the season so we can then swap amoungst one another for different varieties. It would be good to have two or three different types.
What do others think
I have a couple of photos as a PDF in this thread at the end #15. It is not too late to divide rhizomes now, if they have been in the ground lomger than one season, there should be plenty that can be separated. Don't be afraid to chop it in half with a tomahawk or shovel.I think we have to learn how to divide/chop up rhizomes at the end of the season so we can then swap amoungst one another for different varieties.

Definately.
I think that was the idea of the Rhizome register created recently on a wiki. It's not just to show off how many hops you've got.

My hops have sprung, but am not sure if I planted them with the buds up. Am getting brown spidery roots, sprouting out, not green shoots coming up :huh: !
Will gently dig one up tonight to see if I'm growing hops to china! Might have to re-plant them horizontally like you guys!
