To start I know the usual way to grow more hops is to make a cutting of the rhizome.
So earlier this spring when I was clipping the excess bines from my fuggle hops I though wouldnt it be nice if I could grow another plant from the clipping, I know a lot of plants will grow from small cuttings off the top of the plant. so I took one of the bines I clipped off and stuck it into the ground at the edge of my garden. I guess I didnt really expect anything to happen and at first it just appeared to die back but now its sending up new shoots and growing more leaves. So it looks like every time I clip off a healthy bine in the spring I can just plant it until my yard fills up with hops.
Did anyone else know this? I was told you could only propagate hops by rhizome cutting.
