Hops - Maybe I was wrong about the burrs
My last post mentioned that I thought I had burrs. The more and more I look at them I'm starting to think that maybe I was wrong. What I thought was burrs just continues to grow leaves and filling out the bines. The Mt. Hood which had the "burrs" continues to grow and fill out with no signs of a flower. Of course I'll continue to watch it, but I probably jumped the gun for burr production. :(

Hey there! Your hops are looking great! It's funny--I just posted the same thing about our hop plants. We have two bines growing (fuggle and nugget) and the nugget just started shooting out the burrs. The look like little spikey burdocks.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like yours are getting ready to shoot out some burrs, but not quite yet. Good luck! They're great fun to watch.
