I’ve got 4 varieties in my backyard. The one on the left is Amalia, and is on year three. Middle trellis has a year two Vista, and a new Willamette that was planted from a friend’s crown. Far right is Multihead.

Looking like I should have a good sized crop this year.

This.

I live in NM, so there are wild Neomexicanus hops (the Amalia and Multihead are that variety) but they are all up in the mountains. In the city, there are not really any male plants around.

Only issue is local nurseries sell ornamental hops that might be male… But thankfully my neighbors hopyard is all female varieties for home brewing.

Ahh nice OK. I have about 3 in my yard too and vaguely remeber concerns around cross pollination but the gender part makes sense.
