I checked around but was unable to find any stateside. I did find one outfit in the UK http://www.essentiallyhops.co.uk/acatalog/Hop_Plants.html selling them, so they do not appear to be a proprietary variety. Most online hop rhizome vendors do not have their varieties listed yet. I will keep checking around and if anyone out there has information on obtaining Target hop rhizomes in the USA, chime in. Thanks.

Linda,
After the hop bines die off, cut them just above ground. I do not cut mine until after a hard frost kills the bines. I let the hop bines collect energy that is stored in the root stock / crown for next years growth. If you have cold winters it is a good idea to mulch over the hop plants with leaves or I use leaves and grass like I do from my fall mowing (just empty the bag over the hops – assuming no lawn chemicals had been used ).

I have a question do you cut Hops back in the fall?

We are growing over 30 varieties of hop plants which we sell over the internet. These will be available as they mature enough to sell, some are ready now. We are currently taking pre orders. Plants will do much better than rhizomes the first year. We have been trying to obtain one of the largest selections of hops for sale anywhere. Check us out at. High Hops Hop farm.

Jimbo:

Yes you can. Get hops that are good in cooler/wetter climates. Hopefully some place protected from some of the winds in Aug/Sep.

(I know this thread is old but it seemed it still needed a reply and hopefully it can help someone)

I don't know about where you would buy them local to you. You can try home brew supply shops, wine making shops... I compiled a list of online resources to order hop rhizomes. Here it is: Where to buy hop rhizomes

I am not certain of the micro-climate of the Kitsap Peninsula, but Washington State area is the largest hop production area in the USA and perhaps the world. I would check with a Washington Ag group or University for specifics of your area and soil. I would suspect they would do well but I am unfamiliar with the local climate and amount of sunshine there. I am a hobby grower so I do not have experience of growing hops as a cash crop. It will take 2 to 3 years to become fully established and productive. Check it out and best of luck on your possible new venture!
