I am going to be moving from Upstate NY to the Atlanta area at the end of June. I have one hop plant in the backyard that I would like to bring with me. Normally, I would just leave it and start over next season, but this is kind of a family heirloom.
My Great-great Grandfather grew hops on his farm here back before Prohibition and the blight and this is a descendant of those Cluster hops. I think it would be nice to bring that bit of my family history with us as we head into our future. My question is: would it be feasible to dig it up and put it in a container now and move it with us in the summer? My other option would be to leave this plant here and take a rhizome from my Grandmother's place (the original farm) after the season is over.
