Hi,
I am removing a hop - unfortunately the roots are quite deep.
Does anyone know if the plant will grow from the parts of roots leftover, or
must I dig deep to remove all traces.

Yep - it'll grow again from even a tiny root fragment...so either you
dig up the lot, or....
Wait until next spring, let it shoot, then cut the shoots and eat them
a la asparagus....let it grow on a bit more, then dose it with
weedkiller.

You might end up doing a combination of both methods!

Regards,
