Hops in Michigan - first year report

[Augie62]

I am looking for some Hops to start growing anyone local have any plants to get rid of?

I have a couple of plants from last year in 2 gallon buckets, but I'm in Royal Oak. A bit far for you.

I do work in Clinton Township and could meet you or set up a day for me to come pick up

I will be digging up a few Willamette crowns April 1st if you would like to trade for some of your Tettnanger rhisomes.

have any of you guys seen some sprouts? I have a bunch of 1/2" purple shoots on a number of the hops. I found someone with rabbits and fertilized with straw and rabbit pellets over the winter. Seems they really liked it. Anyway. I will see what I can dig up for trading or whatever this spring.

LOVE this warm weather we're having in Michigan! Here's a pic of my Magnum Plant. Noticed it this morning.

Was worried the freezing Cold killed these as I was too lazy to move this and my other planter in my basement this past winter.

that looks awesome. I just found a bunch that are around 1' as well. I don't think the cold can easily kill these. Are you putting these in the ground or leaving them in that tub?
