Hope you have good hopping. Tbird. About 20 feet I believe. We used two aluminum poles bolted together, with a pulley and rope system at the top so that we can lower them for harvest. They die down to the ground every year, so even though they're vigorous, they can be cut right back every time. There is no one that provides fresh hops locally, we're going to start trying these 4 varities just for the hell of it! They are easy to grow, asside from rigging up some kind of trellis system. Did you know that the hop vines are called 'bines'? Strange!
