How to Use Saaz Hops in the Landscape
Long Hops bines need a sturdy trellis, lots of sunshine and excellent air circulation. The traditional pole trellis system adds a showy structural detail to your landscape.
Hops are frankly gorgeous. You'll enjoy a magnificent, Olde World feature and harvest a valuable cash crop at the same time.
Narrow sidearms enable closer spacing in orchard rows, but we recommend you give Saaz plenty of elbow room. Plant in-row at least 30 inches apart on center.
Create a vertical screening treatment in a strategic manner. Block unsightly views and gain a private oasis from midsummer through fall as the bines reach their full height.
Use this plant as a backdrop in a Victory Garden. Or construct an L-shaped planting on the south and west side of a long table for a delightfully shaded outdoor dining room.
Enjoy the process of planning your "ground to glass". After all, Saaz Hops deserve your most thoughtful landscape ideas, don't they?
#ProPlantTips for Care
Saaz Hops needs great air circulation to keep them healthy. To grow them in the traditional way, set tall poles in concrete footings and string sturdy twine from the top to a ground level stake.
Give them at least six hours of direct sunlight a day. Ensure the planting site has well-drained soil; or elevate the roots in a mound of fertile sandy loam.
Hop plants need a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Mulch over the root system to help the soil stay cool, but pull it back from directly touching the stems.
Train young plants by wrapping them clockwise around your support structure. Do that pleasurable task as needed.
Consider adding a schedule of protective early treatments for mildew. After the bines reach 10 feet or so, remove the lowest leaves to increase air flow at ground level.
