You could be asking either Jim, but anyway;-)

I got mine several from Agroforestry Research Trust

http://www.agroforestry.co.uk/

2 named Cultivars (one is 'Fuggle' I cannot remember the other)
A second golden hop (H. lupulus 'aureus') came from a garden centre but
turned out to be male. I now have a female from a fellow URGler which
is supposed to be golden though its looking a little dark right now.

For the record the females get the proper 'hops' the male plants do not.

If anyone wants some I have several offsets/runners going spare that
need to be dug up!
Email me if you're interested.

They do have them in a lot of garden centres, but they won't look like
much right now as they are only just sprouting up from the ground (they
die right back in winter)

Jim,
where did you get the hop?
I have seen them growing wild in hedgerows but not in garden centres.

Last year I put in a hop which grew well with 2 stems (bines ?)
During winter I cut this right back as per the instructions and this year
it
has started to sprout but with at least eight stems. Do I allow all 8 of
these to grow or should I cut back the surplus and leave the 2 healthiest
to
grow.
It's for decorative purposes only, to cover a pergoda I don't use the hops
for brewing so not interested in what they taste like

Thanks
Jim
