Bought 5 different rhizomes this spring... Mt. Hood, Cascade, Nugget, Golding & Centennial. I started them in 1 gallon black pots down in Glendale, AZ as soon as I got them in April. Basically ran vine twine to the eve of my house and let them go. The early warm temps allowed them to go nuts right off the bat. About 2 weeks ago I cut the strings, wrapped them up and transported them up to Munds Park AZ (about 18 miles south of Flagstaff). I came up here this weekend and the Cascades are already producing cones. All area about 12 feet high with new growth. Excited to see how things turn out the first year.
