Harvest is on!
Here's a few picts of native hops and Euro hops growing in La Bolsa, NM, 2008 using certified organic methods.
58- native NM hops from breedings
66- other native NM hops from breedings
79- a 6-lateral native NM hops from breedings
61- native hops from Germany- Hallertau-losers
80- Mt. Hood hops-losers
Only native NM hops and Cascades pay with golden cones. All other Euros are nothing but grasshopper fodder. Nugget, Newport, Fuggle, Willamette, Centennial, Columbus, Sterling, Santiam, Hallertau, and Mt. Hood have been grown for 2 years with no yield yet- nada.
Euro hops don't like NM while Native American Hops love NM.
The breedings of natives will continue. Quite worthy.
