I can't seem to get good results from any other variety than nuggets. While I do get a small amount of cones from cascade and Columbus they produce very little in comparison to nuggets. I had a 3 yr old Saaz at home to come up first this year but it simply fizzled out and died.
As a result here at home I decided to allow my nugget bull shoots to take over. I have been struggling to get cascade and Saaz to thrive here but they just don't come close to the nuggets. All three plants are in the exact same soil and they all get the same amount of water and fertilizer. So I've decided to simply let the nugget take over that little raised bed by the pool just for looks and conversation.
I'm in North Alabama. These are approximately 1 and a half months out of the ground. On the right the closest string is cascade everything else is one nugget plant.
For clarification, I also have 10 varieties out on my famaly's farm with very similar results. The nuggets out there also dominate the scene. There also I can't get Saaz, Willamette, Hallertau or Fuggels to produce. At least the Saaz at the farm is showing signs of life..
Anyone else have these issues?
