The last week of June I planted a couple of crowns from great lakes hops (beautiful crowns from these guys). I know it was very late, but there were reasons. They both are growing, but at VERY different rates. The chinook is about 12 ft tall and has hops starting to take form. The Perle is about 18 inches tall and refusing to go to 19". I don't care about harvest this year so that's not my concern. I'm just curious from others out there if this is normal. Does Perle grow very slow? Is this just because of my late planting? And most importantly will they grow better next year?
