Columbus Hop Rhizome
Grow your own Columbus hops!
These Columbus Rhizomes are root cuttings of the hop bine; to be planted in well-drained soil with plenty of sun and room to climb, then harvest and dry the flower cones in late summer for your brewing pleasure!
Columbus hops have a very pungent aroma, and clean bittering properties.Â
Note: Rhizomes will ship directly from the grower starting in mid April. Minimum order is two rhizomes, they can be different types.
Important Notes:
- Rhizomes will ship directly from the supplier as soon as they are available (typically mid April).Â
- The minimum order is two (2) rhizomes. Since these are live root stock, we cannot guarantee they will grow so ordering two of each variety desired is optimal to provide greatest chances of success.
