Post by: Brewer Gerard on November 18, 2014, 01:46:08 PM
Could somebody supply me with said rhizome. I can trade for cascade/willamette/fuggle/challenger.

Its not the time of year for this.

The plants are now entering the dormant stage. In Feb?March people will dig up the mother plants and split off budding rhizomes. They will pot these up and depending on the weather let them develop and sprout in an unheated greenhouse or sheltered spot. The can be planted when the weather is improving.

A bit later in the seasson other growers will have rooted "Irish Man's Cuttings" ina about May or June.

Fraid like most HB related things patience is the key.

Online shops will take orfders now for the rarer varieties for spring delivery.

Are you saying you have a mittelfruh plant. If I could hit you up in spring for a rhizome or potted cutting that would be great. You have any desire for anything i offered above?
