Does anyone have a spare hop plant they'd be willing to part with? Or is it a bit late now?
I've a big golden hops plant on my shed. If you can tell me where and how to take cuttings i can send you some :)
I believe you've got to take a section of root (a bit like splitting the plant) so probably not a good idea. Someone else has volunteered me some hop seeds which was very nice - thanks twoflower
ok
Someone gave me two pieces of root with alittle bit of green on and they are already making their way up the cane
I'm looking for a golden hop Twoflower... any chance of hacking a bit off the root ball for me? :-X
When mine gets bigger I will send you some Saddad
I used to have a golden hop in my garden, which I purchased after seeing them grown up rustic wigwams in the herb garden at Hardwick Hall, they looked beautiful. However, mine was a blooming nuisance after a few months, it was extremely vigorous and went everywhere despite my efforts to hack it back and keep it under control! In the end I grubbed it out! Perhaps there are different varieties?
This one doesn't seem to be too much of a thug. I'll have a go in the morning when i can get OH to move the big chair that's over it's roots. I've just had a look and their seems to be enough to do that, saddad, I'll let you know in the morning :)

Have hacked it this morning but don't know if i have hacked it too much. I've put it in a bag with some compost and perlite and if it doesn't die this week I'll send it to you :)
Ta, it can have pride of place on my new obelisk... for the world to admire on the open day... :)
Open day. What open day. Have I missed something? ;D ;D ;D.

::) Not yet... ;D
I really don't think that there's any chance of folks missing it. He even put a poster up at Wallsall Rd allotments yesterday. You should have given me a poster for our site Saddad. BTW. Thanks for the plants.
