Title: Hop diseases
Post by: manicscousers on July 13, 2011, 18:15:36
Our lovely golden hop has started dying. It's 2 years old. The stems have gone crispy and I have cut out the affected parts and fed it. I've been reading about verticillium wilt on hops but it doesn't seem to fit. Any ideas?  :)

If it dies Manics I have some rooted cuttings for you. As you know it will soon be as big as the one you lost

Here's hoping it picks up, Shirl. But, if it pegs it, I'll be very grateful  ;D
