Columbus hops have a very pungent aroma, and clean bittering properties. 

Important Notes:

• Rhizomes ship directly from the supplier as soon as they are available (typically mid April). 
• The minimum order is two (2) rhizomes. Since these are live root stock, we cannot guarantee they will grow so ordering two of each variety desired is optimal to provide greatest chances of success.
• Rhizomes will be shipped through the US Postal Service. Please provide a USPS-deliverable address with these orders. If you have a PO Box address and wish to order rhizomes, please include ONLY rhizomes on that order. Rhizomes are not available for international shipping.
• Due to local restrictions, we cannot ship rhizomes to HI, AK.
• Due to government restrictions, we cannot ship rhizomes internationally.
