Hi Marko, welcome to the vine!

Do you know what type of Hop it is?

hi james
it is a cobbs hop root.

Hmm thats a full size golding and from what ive read they can produce a large root system. No harm in trying it in a large pot to start with though, asuming you cant put it in the ground. Ive got a dwarf Golden Tassel which im going to put in a 15-20lt pot which im told will do it fine for a couple of years. Hope that helps a little, im pretty new at this myself, but hops is something ive been reading up on recently.

well i'm new to hops and i can not find much info on the net about putting hops in planters or how much soil area they need to thrive mmm but they have been around for some time now so i find it strange there is no info on them
