Description

Hops are a fast growing deciduous vine perfect for a screen to block the summer heat. They originated from South East Asia over 10,000 years ago. It add the bitter flavour and is a preservative against bacteria in the fermentation process. 
Hops are the flowers, or cones, of a plant called Humulus lupulus. Hops help to keep beer fresher, longer; help beer retain its head of foam—a key component of a beer’s aroma and flavor; and, of course, add “hoppy” aroma, flavor, and bitterness. 

Hops belong to the Cannabinaceae family, which also happens to include Cannabis (hemp and marijuana). Hops are hardy plants and are grown the world over.

Hops are divided into two very general varieties: bittering and aroma. Bittering hops will have higher alpha acids, making them more economical for bittering beer (a small amount goes a long way). Aroma hops will tend to have more essential oils. It’s those highly volatile essential oils that contribute much of what people understand as “hoppiness.”

Target - Citrus/Spicy

Tip- Prune back hard annually during winter.
