Or just dig over in the winter, and plant out some of the younger

I think we need to check with Bowman whether he wants his hop vines for
ornamental or brewing purposes. For brewing, isn't it right that
pollinated "cones" are what you really want? If so, there needs to be a
male plant for several females. If he's only got one, then all its
vegetative offspring will be of the same sex.
