It might be a little late but is there anything I need to do (or should have done) to winterize my hop plants? I couldn't find any mention of it in any of the hop growing articles I have seen.
Winterizing Hop Plants?

I just cut mine back and bury them with some dirt. They stay since the weather is no longer favorable...

I cut mine off at ground level and pile leaves on top. I rake the leaves off in March when the weather starts to turn.

Cutting back and covering is usually standard practice for New England winterization of plants. Having never had hops until now i just treated them like any other plant in the yard.
