I'm about to pre-order some hop rhizomes.
Any advice on varieties that grow well in the South (SC).
I've been told cascade does well. Also Chinook and Mt Hood.
Any thoughts on Goldings or Centennial? Web site I'm ordering from says good in all climates. I brew mostly ales... so I would get most use out of Cascade, Goldings, and Centennial. Possibly Chinook last... Mt. Hood not at all.
Probably order 3-4 Rhizomes... 1 cascade for sure, and 2 others ...
Planning on doing a simple twine trellis for each... tent stake in ground to eye hook in roof over hang back down to a second tent stake to make a big inverted V. Planting on south side of house (house faces east). That side of house gets sun all day...
How far apart should they be planted apart for 3 different varieties? I've read somewhere 5' apart for different varieties and 3' apart for same.
Any advice would be appreciated for a noob hop grower!
