The message
from "gentlegreen" contains these words:

They are propagated from root cuttings about (I think).a foot long.
There are separate male and female plants. You need, as far as I
remember, one male plant for every half-dozen or ten females.

Do you actually want to pollinate the females for beer making ?


The alpha acid content of the flower is greater when unpollinated and
thus gives greater bittering per ounce/gramme
