2013 Hop Rhizome Presale!

[ArrowheadHops]

Hi Arrowhead,

Quick question. Since im in zone 9, my planting time is already here. Would you guys be able to ship to Texas before that late March date? Or do you guys have to wait.

Thanks much!

Chromebrew:

Our ground is frozen solid right now and I’m sure will be until mid march at best. So the late March/ early April time frame is the best we can do.

 

[Chromebrew]

I figured that was the case. Thanks!

“Mini Farm” kits are now up on the website. Get six different varieties, twine and plant markers. A total savings of over $10!

How do hop starts compare to rhizomes other then being an alive, sprouted plant? Do they typically produce more year one then rhizomes?

 

[ArrowheadHops]

Brizzo:

Our hop starts have a nice developed root mass and we like to have multiple “breaks” or bines on each one usually around 6” or more long. As to how they compare to a rhizome pertaining to production I’ve had some produce several ounces year one and some produce a hand full or two of cones, but the same goes for rhizomes. It all really depends on quality of care, both are a good option.

Sweetness! Just got my order in. One each of Cascade, Centennial, Nugget and Willamette.

How do we order the hop starts?

 

[ArrowheadHops]

Right now I’ve got Hop Start “Mini Farms” on the website. You should have the ability to order single plants in a week or so.

 

[Straight6TT]

Let us know when the individual hop starts are on the site for pre order!

 

[Brizzo]

Ordered my mini farm last night! Can't wait until spring

 

[southernhomebrewer]

Want to grow some in the Atlanta GA area. Any suggestions?

 

[ArrowheadHops]

Go with what you like to use, but you can’t go wrong starting with some Cascades.

 

[JediJoel]

Shoot! Any chance you under estimated the amount of Magnum rhizomes available? I was late to the game and they are sold out!

...perhaps I will go with Columbus

 

[krenshaw]

looking to start my hop garden this year.. i wanted to get 3 varieties.. should i order 2 of each and plant just the pairs close together? would that help in the short and long term for production/growth? thanks!

After all the orders we currently have are filled we’ll have to see what we have remaining if any. I’ll post on HBT our website and Facebook any updates.

The practice of planting two rhizomes per location is typically done at commercial farms. You could plant two per spot and have a much larger plant mass and more bines but it’s not necessary.

Will we get an email or post on this thread when they start to ship?

 

[ArrowheadHops]

I can tell you now that they will begin to ship by the end of the month.

 

[Mcbobs]

How's everything looking? I just put in an order for garden supplies and seeds last night and it reminded me of the hops rhizomes we all have ordered. Gotta admit that I'm pumped to get them in the ground and try my hand at hops growing!

 

[idigg]

Hello, are these still going out this month to presale customers? Looking to get a head start, thanks!

 

[ArrowheadHops]

Sounds great. I've got my gardens prepped and ready to receive some rhizomes. Can't wait to get this show on the road!

 

[dalano73]

[ArrowheadHops]

Rhizomes will beging shipping Monday, get your beds ready!

 

[MeanDeuce]

Do we get a tracking number or anything? looking forward to planting my rhizomes, have my trellis and pot all ready to go!

 

[iowabrew]

Got my package today!!! No tracking number, it just showed up in my mail. Very nice looking rhizome lot of buds already formed

 

[trujunglist]

Oh snap, I totally forgot about this. I gotta do some digging. Better find the shovel...

 

[MeanDeuce]

My cascades came today, they look great. One in the ground already.

Thanks!

 

[dalano73]

Got my rhizomes today, now I'm just waiting on my hop starts....

 

[idigg]

Got mine today. It's freezing and raining so much here in Wisconsin. I put mine in pots with soil and milorganite until the ground thaws.
