Im in Central Jersey near Princeton. Mount hood has not done well for me. I also put in sunbeam hops and haven't seen a cone in 2 years. Not really surprised though... I have a black thumb.
Cascade, centennial, nugget(have had great success with this one), Willamette. Its tough because some varieties don't do well in hot or humid climates, and with the way NJ's weather is so unpredictable, it wouldn't be good for the rhizomes.
