I'm moving and not taking my hop crowns with me. I'm selling them to a local homebrew shop to split up into rhizomes for customers. Today I pulled up all the crowns (big job!). The top half of the crown was budding all over with shoots but the bottom half was not. There were really big bottom roots and runners but no shoots on them. Are they not part of the rhizome or were they just too deep to have shoots?
If I/they cut off those bottom roots and plant them will they sprout and be used as a rhizome?
Thanks for passing on your knowledge!
