So I've been searching for Amarillo rhizomes and no luck. I hear that it is somehow patented and there is no way to get rhizomes. Am I correct on this? If so, is the Amarillo hop a cross made in a lab or something?
Amarillo and Simcoe are both private strains grown in that area. There is no legal way to get a rhizome of either strain.
Black clothing, night vision goggles and crawl inside the farm - pull up a root and run for it.
Or just send hopsdirect a few bucks - that's the way I went!
Funny you mention "legal". I wonder if there is a black market for hop rhizomes, lol.
I know a guy who lives in that area, he has alluded to the whole nighttime commando mission armed with trowel, pocket knife and plastic bag....I just can't justify the possibility of explaining my story to a judge

Yeh, If I went through the trouble of cross pollenating some new hops strain, and then got it patented, I wouldnt want some dude jumping my fence and stealing from my hop yard.
That's messed up. I'm friends with the family (Gamache) that have the rights to that hop. I figure if you can produce a unique product then go ahead and make money off of it. I'm guessing the whole commando thing is BS since I've been flying for this family for a few years and I can't even see what fields the Amarillo grows in but I'm not not calling you a liar:cross:

yeah bump it was for me i was reading on this thread about the plant cell culturing thing and wanted to do some research while at work
Kinda startling.
Could've just subscribed to it if all he wanted was a bookmark...
Cheers!
Startling? this is the internet! two girls one cup was startling, bumping a long dead thread? nope, everyday occurance.
I agree subscribing would have worked, but then we wouldn't be having this interesting e-conversation now would we?
cheers!!
