I'm debating on whether to cut them back or try to string more sets of guildline. They are spreading like wild fire. That one 3' offshoot is hugh.

I think my hop book will say to trim them back. I need to read....:fro:

You only need about 2-3 bines per rizhome. Cut the rest back so they have the energy to climb.

Its 2 & 3rd.

I've had them for three years. I dug them up and transplanted them last spring.

When I did it I removed a basket ball sized mound of root & dirt. So 2 years in this location!

lucky man. still waiting for my magnum, Centennial and Willamette to break ground but I only planted about 2 weeks ago and its stayed in the mid 40's most of the week.

ZOMG, that's like hop porn!

Quick Question, why is it that some hop bines appear to be purple? Mine are completely green. Is it different variety? Temperature? Growing conditions?
