Looking For Male Hop Plants !!
MVH is currently looking for male hop plants for our breeding program. Our focus is on finding a male plant growing in the Commonwealth of Virginia that has been here for decades, or longer!
Requirements are as follows:
- Must be currently growing in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and have been growing in this state for several decades, preferably longer. (Other Mid-Atlantic states may be considered on a case by case basis.)
- Must be a male hop plant.
- Must appear healthy and possess good growth vigor.
Once located, the plant will NOT be removed from its current location, unless the landowner requests it. MVH has non-invasive procedures to procure plant material without removing or destroying the plant.
Male hop plants produce only flowers. No cones! See the adjoining photo to help in identifying a male hop plant.
- Please contact us if you know of, or have access to a specimen that meets the above criteria.
