Lost my cascade plant during a deck renovation. Recently ordered a “third year” hop rhizome that is very large with a huge root system. Is there any benefit to that or did I just pay double for no reason?
You will get more hops earlier. The ball will have some root shock being transplanted, but you will probably get a good yield the first year.
That’s what I was hoping to hear. The previous plant was entering its 3rd year before it was accidentally up rooted by a friend of mine.
