Title: American bittering hops.
Post by: Brewer Gerard on May 21, 2015, 01:18:41 PM
Is anybody growing CTZ , chinook or nugget or some such. I can trade cascade, challenger, or willamette. ?Living in SE and working in Dublin. Oh and on the off chance somebody has a centennial plant out there i'll happily pay for a bine cutting.

I have a chinook plant that I picked up in the US a couple of years ago, but it's a bit neglected, as has been left in a pot. I will plant it out shortly, and should have some spare rhizomes next year.

I have cenntential (2 years in) - which is being a bit neglected at the moment (new arrival).
I'll pop out tomorrow and have a look at how it's doing and get back to you.

It seems to grow fine - it's in a bright sunny spot, definitely smaller and less sturdy than the goldings or cascade. The golding is prolific grower, stand still and it would grow on you. I have a photo taken last week of the centennial it's up at about 6ft. but need to resize the image (can't do it on my phone). I'll post it later / tomorrow.

Big props to Shanek for supplying some cuttings. All three still alive. Easiest plant in the world to propagate from cuttings
