Hops

The hop plant is a climbing perennial that produces annual stems from a perennial crown and rootstock. These annual stems may grow up to 25 feet in one season, but will die back each fall to the crown. As the flower matures, they form cone-like structures, which when fully mature are 1 to 3 inches long, yellowish green, and have a papery texture. These cones are harvested in August and September, and then dried. Once dried they can be used for brewing, medicinal, or ornamental uses.

Nugget- Vigorous producer of large hop cones. alpha rating 11-14%
