I've got a four year old Nugget that has a gigantic crown and four second year plants that I need to move to a new house at the end of June this year. The plants are already doing well, Nugget is some 7 feet high on the twine, and the others are between 1-3 feet up already.
How best should this be done? Can I just carefully dig a circle around each plant and get as much of the crown as possible, coil up the bines and try to move them in a single day?
Any precautions I should be taking? I don't want to lose the plants, but it wouldn't be the worst thing if they didn't get a good production year in, technically. I'm still flush with hops from last year
Thanks guys!
