Was given a Hop plant for my birthday label was all in German but did not give the name of the Hop.
It is growing now can this Hop be indentified by the leaf ?
Did you keep packaging?
yes
says
Humulus Lupulus
Hop Rhizomatous twinning perennial with coarsely toothed light green leaves, straw coloured flowers in summer.
it came from Johns Town Garden Center asked and they just same Humulus Lupulus for beer making
Better chance of IDing when it cones. For example, how early or late it crops, size and compactness of cone, then of course the aroma and flavour characteristics. I reckon that by October, between us, we'll be able to identify a family area of your hop. Otherwise, short of genetic jiggery pokery, there's not much else to be done!
Thanks
Can the leaf not ID it :-\
Aye, it's a hop! ;)
