I'm pretty sure you can't get rhizomes yet. I'm Does anyone know where I could score some Cashmere rhizomes? Really I would like to grow any of the four that were in Zymurgy magazine recently.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks for your time.
I placed an order with greenfield gardens about a month ago. They said the plants won't be ready to ship until june, but at least I got one
I hate to say that... I am the one who "advertise" for them on this thread, but last year, when I ordered with them, this is when I realize how much they don't care about the small customers. I place my order in late January, and they change the delivery date 3 times... May, June, July. I end up with no plants at all. And the person I was dealing with visibly don't care at all about me. Good luck, I hope that your experience with them will be better than mine.

Dam....never mind. They only ship to canada. Maybe ill send and email and see if they would make an exception.
The US resident importing the plants needs a permit from the USDA, and depending of how / where the plant was grown, there might be a need for a phytosanitary certificate.
The certificate needs to be done by the canadian company, they need to fill a form to ask for a CFIA inspector to come and inspect the plants. They will have to pay fees for that.
Lot of paperwork, probably the reason why no canadian company is interested.
What sucks is I'm going to be in Toronto tomorrow for a few days
Did you sneak in anything good?
Homebrewers mail illegal stuff all the time. Just sayin'.
What's the big deal about these Chasmere hops?
Another description: strong melon, fruity (lemon, lime peel, pineapple), coconut, and spicy noteWhat it is: a cross between Cascade and Northern Brewer
What its like: This was the most unusual hop, and definitely the crowd favorite. Tropical coconut, peach and tangerine filled out the aroma, while a similar flavor profile paired coconut, melon, tangerine and lemongrass.
I actually contacted Great Lake Hops and told them my situation (order canceled on me from cap n cork) and they did let me buy me one cashmere hop plant in mid/ late april. They were very adamant they just happen to have an extra one. It started really slow (multiple hail storms didn't help either especially on my other 3 hop plants), but the plant is about 12 feet tall so far and still growing strong. Once I started getting steady temps in the upper 80's and higher, it really shot up like a weed.
I have a year 2 sorachi ace that I have had to trim back a lot. I was able to give a couple rhizomes to a buddy in town (actually have a plants worth I could chop off now). Shipping them out is not something I want to deal with. If you are in the St. Louis area I am sure we can work out a rhizome exchange or something. Still early in the growing season and still a winter to go.
