Well, there is no real way to find out other than to try, so I have ordered 4 types of rhizomes. A friend is giving me another variety of rhizome that he grows here locally. A client of mine whom is a botonist is ordering me another type of hops that is a late bloomer, so I'll have late season harvests as well (assuming they grow).. So, I'll be planting about 6 different types. I've already started preping spots around my property. I have chosen spots with full sun, partial sun, and low sun. Let the El Paso desert hops experiment begin!

Sounds like a plan. They should do a lot better in Querque than down here because of the lower temps. As soon as they start popping up I'll get you some.

I live in Laredo, Tx (The Devils Anus) and will be trying to grow Cascade, Centennial and Chinook this year.

Keep us posted on your success. If you can grow in Laredo you can grow anywhere!

Excellent!

Well, I only ended up planting 4 types of rhizome so far. I planted Cascades, nugget, Mt. Hood, and Sterling.. They've all sprouted and look good. Hopefully they'll do well...
