    OK, I'm growing 5 types of hops, one root system each. I used to trellis them off the side of the house but now have to create something for them. What I'm planning is two 4x4 posts, 16 feet, three feet in the ground, so 13 feet high. With a T at top. Running two lines of 12.5 guage wire...

    This just occurred overnight but on one of my bines, the tips of the laterals are drying and shriveling up. Just the laterals and so far just one bine. No damage that I can see (we have had some high winds but I can't see anything that indicates damage to the tips) Any thoughts? This is...
