Good evening
Where can I find hop rhizomes in South Africa? I think I am ready to grow some of my own hops.

Brennen

They don't grow very well here (up in the north) - they grow but they don't flower. Reason - we don't have enough day light. I read about a guy that tried it and he had to install huge floodlights to get them to flower.Busy rebuilding ....

Old thread I know. I doubt that you will have much luck growing them. Try ordering bulk from

The southern dawn can be overpowering - I use it very sparingly. I use the US4/78 a lot but must confess I like it because it is cheap. R126-00 per kg postage included in Feb 2013.
