Looking for Neomexicanus rhizomes

[AkTom]

I’m in west Texas now. I’d like to try my hand at hop growing. Neomexicanus is probably my best shot. Any preferred vendors? Tips?
Cheers

I looked into Great Lakes when considering neomex. They were friendly and helpful over the phone. In the end, I wasn’t willing to pay the shipping to CA for a hop experiment.

Great Lakes! Though they are known for selling plants which in my experience give you a better start.

Thanks! I’ll call them.

I ordered 5 plants. We’ll see how they do in west Texas…

Hops need lots of water and sunshine.
Not sure how they fare in excessive heat/low humidity conditions.

Check with Texas A&M - Agricultural Extension for tips on hops growing.

Wasn't Neomexicanus found growing in the high NM desert?

Cheers!

Yes. And a few other places. I just hope they grow here in west Texas.

Excited and optimistic. Here’s to many more posts in the future!

Les Neomexicanus vivent naturellement du Montana jusqu'au désert de Sonora et Chihuaha.
Tout le long des Rocky Mountain en fait

My NeoMex from @Greatlakeshops are the first to pop out of the ground here in SoCal. They like the desert.

My hops came in the mail this morning. I’m hoping to get them planted tonight or tomorrow. They threw in a free one!
Thanks Great Lakes Hops!
