    My Hop Is Dying?

    I do agree... it does look like too much water around the roots by the look of the "rotten" leaves, and some sunburn too (brown dry part). If you are looking for some expertise in Brazil for hops, I will send you a name in a private message.

    Apollo Vale Hops

    Yep, bought seeds from them and I have a few seedling. I have exchange a few emails too... nice person. Serious enough to get the US permit and do all the paperwork to be able to import some seeds from my seeds bank (I am in Canada).

    I think my hops are dead???? Help

    Hop garden pic & what is this

    Your first picture: the yellow leaf with web and tiny tiny bugs.... it really look like spider mites (a close up would help, but still look like that). Spider mites will suck up sap and heavily infested leaves will slowly turn yellow. Also, they are so small, you almost need to put your nose...

    Mutant hops!

    It seems like an hybrid depression.... I have seen it mentionned in some litterature about prof Salmon work (the one who started it all in UK). Some seedling coming from neomexicanus crosses are growing with strange shaped leaves or twisted leaves, or don't grow over 30 cm or die before...
