Whoville hops

[rlmiller10]

Any hop growers can tell me what is going on? Last year these hops (they are wild hops) looked just like my Chinook or Centennial, lots of cones and normal looking. This year there are very few cones and they look like a Whoville plant. Can someone explain?

Clematis virginia entangled with the hop plant.

Don't use that plant in your beer.

Thank you, good to know it is not a franken hop
