B-Hoppy said:Some varieties produce more of these than others. The big ones that I grow are Bullion, Cascade and Chinook. There's nothing wrong with the hops - it's just a quirk of nature and being that they're usually found at the very tip of the vine leads me to think that they possess both lateral and main vine characteristics. In the kettle they go!
B-Hoppy said:Just had Hoppy climb up the Cascade pole and sure enough, I got wings too!
I've only got about 4 of them on my Chinook. All the other developing hops look fine. Still waiting for the Willamette to start doing somehing. Not much progress there.
jperry said:I have the same thing happening at the tip of my leading Chinook bine. I think it looks pretty cool. Other than that, I really know nothing about it. and I am intrigued... I've never done a soil analysis, so i don't know the nitrogen levels. I transplanted them, into a raised bed garden, late june. The bines have slowed down, only reaching ~10ft and started growing flowers. Also, they're 1 year plants, that i ordered from great lakes hops.
