The last two years here in SoCal, the Eroica and Centennial take off early, send up lots of runners for a month or two and die off, no arms, no cones nothing. I tore out the Centennial this year, might do the same to the Eroica as well. The Cascade (2nd plant, 1st one withered after two years) has no arms, just a few hops and just hit harvest point yesterday, but it's going to have to wait for an afternoon after work, when I can also harvest the Old Mission and Chinook-both, no arms, but at least some hops. The Multihead Medusa, which I thought would do great in the heat here died after two weeks in the ground. I have a Comet 1st year, so hoping for something next year from it. This year they got a little fertilizer in addition to compost mulch (which is every year, 2x a year). IDK what I'm doing wrong, but it has to be something. I have tried Nugget, Cluster, Shaddock, they basically grow 6-10' and then die off annually.
