I live in central Oregon... Where it gets really cold... Didn't want to risk killing the hops.. so we put those babies in pots and placed them in a green house.... All nice and snug for the winter.
Me and a buddy bought 50 hop crowns ($9 a piece) from them this fall.. and let me tell you... YOU WON'T BE DISAAPOINTED. All crowns were bigger than my fist... About 4-5 rhizomes combined. Gonna plant in the ground this spring!
