Hops on vine - wanted

[richardatlarge]

Hi everyone

Anyone know of any hops grown in the Auckland area? I know it’s not the usual zone for them. Want some fruit on the vine for ornamental use

Thanks!
Richard

Hey Richard,

Have you checked out the following site?

https://www.wildabouthops.nz/

Stacks of resources and hops for sale on that site, and the owner is more than happy to answer your queries if you cant find them

Thanks, yes, I’ve been in touch but they are in the South Island and I was hoping to find a grower in the AUckland area who has mature vines already mature

Try Hallertau brewery/restaurant out West - they have vines around the edge of the carpark and I've been known to pluck a few on the way out on past visits:  http://www.hallertau.co.nz/

Cheers,  Jeff.
