Top of the Hops Collection
Description
Calling all home brewers! Craft beer-making is a fascinating hobby to take up. Experimenting with different hops to create different aromas, flavors and finishes can be fun and rewarding. The bines grow well in all temperate growing zones, and require a support system such as a trellis or arbor. Hops are wind-pollinated and do not require a pollinator.

Are hops safe for dogs in case some fall off the vine into my backyard? Thanks!
BEST ANSWER: Hops can be toxic to dogs and cause a very serious condition called malignant hypothermia. Do not plant hops if you have a dog who might have access to them.

What does hardiness 6A mean?
BEST ANSWER: USDA Hardiness Zones (also called "growing zones") were developed so that people could have a way to determine what will grow (and what won't) in their particular location, which is determined by ZIP code. Zones are classified according to their average annual temperatures. Zone 6A runs laterally through the middle of the US and up into parts of the Northwest. On every product page, you'll see the growing zone fpr that plant. If you type in your zip code in the Zone Compatability box, you'll be able to see if that tree or plant is suitable for your location.

First Year Had My Doubts
We planted a variety of hops to climb our fence. Last year was extremely disappointing because there wasn't much growth. This winter was especially rough in western Montana and they were the first to break through the ground and are climbing like crazy. I just needed to remember "sleep, creep, leap" when it comes to perennials.

Hops
We ordered the hops collection with Chinook, Centennial, and Cascade. They grew so well up here in western Wisconsin. We are very happy. They survived the Winter and are already reaching for the trellis.

Hops for my garden
Bought the different types to try and grow them in Zone 8. The bare root were in pots until this spring when I got them in the ground. Next up is building a trellis system that will not need stilts or ladders.to harvest. It may take a couple years to get any hops flowers.

Great hops plants!
We put in our hops plants last year. The hops spent the year establishing themselves and we got a small yield. This spring they are exploding with runners! We look forward to a much larger yield this year. They are very strong and healthy!
