Hi Roberto,

The NZ hop cultivars are owned by NZ Hops (http://www.nzhops.co.nz/) and only avaliable to NZ Hops member growers within New Zealand... we as members of the public cannot even buy them here in New Zealand. So the chances of getting them to send you a rhizome in Italy is virtually zero!! They are very protective of the cultivars that they have spent a lot of time and money to breed.

I hope that you manage to find some tasty European sourced hops rhizomes to grow in your back yard though!! Growing hops is fun

Thank you very much for your reply.
They then plant a bit of North American hops and perhaps the EK Golding
Many Regards Robert.
