I am forced to move… I have looked on youtube and cant find anything about moving hops plants. I planted them last spring (but they did not yield any hops for me) and the vines took off. They are about 9 foot high and wrapped around a fenc/lattice that I wont be taking with me. Do I just cut the vine and re-plant? I have them in pots already, or should I cut then dig up the rhizome? Looking for some help with this, I have to move ASAP and know I will need to replant, hoping I can cut and re-grow…
Nature tends to overcome. Dig them up and take care of the roots until you plant them again. If they die then oh well, nothing is really lost.
Cut as much of the rhizome as you can along with the crown. Wrap them in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag. Keep them cool outside or in the fridge and plant in the spring.
It worked for me. I was 4 for 4 on varieties that grew. they’re very resilient plants.
