IMO, Nugget hops are basically indestructible. Once established they become weeds.
A couple of years ago I planted mature Centennial, Nugget and Columbus rhizomes. While all grew, only the Nugget produced cones.
As my luck would have it, neighbors tree shades were I planted the hops. When the hops where originally planted a few years ago this wasn't a problem. Time to move the hops!
I dig 3 nice holes in the terrible clay soil we have around here, thoughtfully fill the holes with a mix of soil I know the hops enjoy and carefully transplant the rhizomes.
Noticed today, Thursday, March 26, 2020, the Nugget rhizomes have several shoots above the ground. Nothing seen from the Centennial or Columbus rhizomes (at least not yet).
