Today when walking my dog I came across a out of control HUGE hops plant that has thosands of cones on it. My question is, is there a way to tell what kind of Hops it is?
This plant is huge it grows up and all around a dead tree about 15 to 18 feet, grows over the top of bushes for about 30 feet and at some points its at least 6 feet wide. Im talking THOUSANDS of cones. I have seen hop plants before but this takes the cake...its unreal!
There are a few that can be picked now but almost all are still small. I did pick a few just to smell and the aroma is not strong at all. I did taste them too and they were not that bitter either. I am new to fresh hops and any input would be great! Thanks in advance.
