I think that time of the year is coming where you need to split your rhizomes.
Before i buy a plant from Houblon Franklyn somebody is splitting cascade, alpharoma ( never heard of that one but description look good!) or something similar?
I’ll have some clippings ready soon to give away (both Cascade and Centennial varietals). I got my Cascade plant from a single clipping last year, and it grew over 10 meters high!
I’ll post here once the shoots are long enough to cut them. At the current growing rate, I suspect in less than a week!
I’m too far away from Montreal now (2h45 by car), but I’m searching for rhizomes too!
Could one of you send me one? (Any variety, it will be my first one!)
I will of course pay for it, with a bonus for the rhizome!
I could potentially mail you a rhizome, but I’m not certain they’ll survive the trip. They aren’t dormant anymore. If you’re game to take the risk, I’ll look around my house for an appropriate size box to package it in and let you know what I expect it to cost to ship it to you. PM me your address.
I’ve shipped and received rhizomes a few times. They travel well. You can just wrap it in a wet paper towel inside a plastic bag. It will survive the trip this time of year.
Oh that’s really good to know, thanks @DenisB!
I was trying to see if I could find another option… @kurthoughton I’ll contact you in PM tomorrow morning
attention a la proximité de la thermopompe. Les houblons pouce telement rapide, je jure que si tu regardes assez fort tu peux les voir grandir juste devant tes yeux.
