Advice for those who pick hops...

[Whippy]

I don't know how you treat your plants, but mine HUG me when I go picking! I've never seen such a thing as what you have! ... angry hops indeed!

what variety of hop did that to you? Reason I ask is that my Centennials will give me similar rashes but Goldings do not

Hops grow on bines not trees, but if I looked like that I am sure they would jump off of the bines as well.

This was my arm last year

I had to pick the hops off a friends arch way used for decoration, so i couldnt tear the plants down. And because of that i had to get on a small step stool and reach into t he plant to get at some of the hops that werent over way past their prime.
