Hop Plants wanted!

[David R]

I tried a post in the Buying&Selling forum but didn't have much luck!

Does anyone know where I could get Cascade [or similar] hop rhizomes from? Preferably around Auckland/north, or willing to ship.

What other known varieties are available out there?

I have saaz hops growing, got the plant from Brewers Coop, not very strong AA but sublime aroma! Got zip first year, but last year made a couple of pilsners and the vine is growing like crazy at the moment!

Thanks Shelly, Saaz would be nice! Where abouts are you?

Thanks Hamish, but with the above Saaz and a cascade I've sourced (and the unknown I'm already growing) I think I've got enough for now!

I have sticklebract and smooth cone that I can take cuttings off and pot into seedlings if you want to sort out postage, or if you have some way of getting them picked up in Christchurch?

Also got a possible cascade and hallertau but can't confirm nor deny that yet as I need to do some hop tea this year to see whether they are what I think they are,
