Hi Guy I was wondering if you could grow hops from a cutting
****************You can grow hop plants from cuttings, though I believe splitting rhizomes is more common because it's much easier to get a viable plant that way. I tried taking cuttings from my hop plants this year and it was very hard keeping them alive long enough for them to take root. Of the 12 cuttings I tried only one survived.
One of my cascade rhizomes was apparently dead. After I realized this and my other cascade was several feet tall I took some cuttings from it and buried the first 10 inches or so, leaving just a few inches sticking out of the ground. After a long time they finally started to grow. They only grew to a total of 18 inches or so before the winter hit, though. I guess I'll find out in the spring if they put down enough roots to survive. From what I understand, I was lucky to have both live and grow.
