Why plant a Nugget hop rhizome?

Nugget is appreciated for its neutral bitterness strength, good disease resistance, and high productivity. It is often used for bittering but can also add a complex aromatic touch at the end of the boil or during dry hopping. An excellent choice for brewers wanting to control bitterness while growing their own hops.

Planting tips:

Plant the rhizome horizontally, 5–10 cm deep, in well-drained soil. Water regularly but not excessively. Set up a vertical support to encourage stem growth. The first shoots will appear quickly in spring.
