From left to right
2nd year perle, 2nd year chinook, 3rd year cascade, 3rd year centenial, 2nd year nugget....... These hops are growing like crazy this year!!!
My first year perle has grown great since day 1 . It was the first to the top, but i noticed alot of aphids on this particular plant.... Can they stress a plant enough to turn it male? The burrs that are starting to form dont look like normal.... And from a little googling looks to be the start...
