Huge plant with red bines and the biggest cones in the yard. Took over neighboring bines. What a beast! Originally, I thought that 018 had 4.5 cones, but it was really just this plant taking over!

The cones were covered in honey bees  – something that I have never seen before on hops. Observed 9/2 and 9/9. Bees were only on this one plant, avoiding all others. There was quite a bit of aphid damage (comparable to the Chinook), however the bees didn’t seem to be going after the aphids/honeydew. They seem to actually be trying to get into the cones. Took a short video. Lots of small dense cones. Smelled wonderful. Exciting plant. Honey bee continue to stick around the location long after it was cut down, but continued to ignore all the other hops.

NHB067

Very healthy plant with large bines that are stripped with red like a candy cane. Not a very big plant, but it has lots and lots of cones. Cones are deeply hooked like chinook with a square profile. Many are still light green. May have been able to ripen up a little longer. Very, very small amount of dead protoflowers. Looks like it may have gone through a little bit of stress early in the season. So few that I’m not sure if we should be concerned.

Lots of very dense, very heavy, long cones. Small to medium in size. Only filled half a bag, but it weighs a lot. They feel dry enough to pick and the microscope showed mature glands – so, I think they are just really, really dense.
