Found something strange in the hop yard. A row of Columbus hops has produced both male and female flowers on the same plant. If you look close you can see the small clusters of male flowers (small berries) and the female cones.
The experts at http://www.greatlakeshops.com
say they’ve received other reports of the phenomenon this year. Can occur in some hop varieties when they get stressed.
Found a good article on the subject. Link below. Nature is full of surprises.
