Mt. Hood Hops

Humulus lupulus Hallertau Mittelfrüh × USDA 19058M male. OR St U, 1989. Low to moderate bitterness with 4-7% alpha acid content. Spicy and floral aromas are great for a variety of brews including lager, pilsner, wheat beer and especially German- or Belgian-style ales. Mt. Hood resulted from efforts to create an American hop that captured some of the old school terroir of early European “noble” hops, of which there are only four, including Hallertau, Mt. Hood’s parent.

Chestnuts

Delicious sweet chestnuts are an important food for both humans and wildlife. Use them for roasting, stuffing and soups, or dry them to make flour for baked goods. The tree’s profuse fragrant white blossoms feed the pollinators. Lustrous dark green foliage is ribbed and sharp-toothed. Yellow fall color.

Before 1900 the American chestnut was one of the most important deciduous trees in the eastern U.S. Chestnut blight showed up in Brooklyn, NY, in 1904; within 50 years it killed virtually every chestnut tree in the eastern U.S. The blight does not kill the roots however, and rare stands of stump sprouts can still be found. Hybrid chestnuts and Chinese chestnuts are resistant to blight

Chestnuts prefer loamy well-drained acidic soil and full sun. Two or more needed for pollination and all three chestnuts we’re offering this year will cross-pollinate with each other.
