This is my first year growing hops and they are doing pretty well. I planted cascade and centennial, the cascade are doing the best, with multiple vines and plenty of hops. Since they can grow upwards of 20 feet I built a cross trellis system out of cedar and twine, check it out.
I hear those hops are like 12 feet high. But really only 6 since they zig zag!
ReplyDeleteback in the day hop vineyards would have guys on stilts to harvest and maintain the vines because they were so tall. I like the trelllus system to keep it low enough because I would probably break something if I had to garden on stilts...
DeleteThat's a fun fact! Thanks for sharing!
