Hop shoots sprouting...
This is a closeup of one of the thirty hills planted with hops. This is the product of a crown I split up into extra big rhizomes pieces. That explains all the shoots :-)
Thanks :-) It was pretty easy. I think this is the fourth year for the plants I split. I'm sure I could have done it one year two, but, never really gave it a thought. Just dug them up, rinsed the dirt off, then I started cutting the rhizomes and splitting the crown.
I was kinda nervous at first, but, it all seemed to turn out great in the end.
I'm waiting for the Magnum to come up. No shoots yet.

Adam, they're looking great so far! I think after this season, I might split some off. So far, they've grown very quickly!!
Cheers
