Sorry, I actually meant buds, not sprouts. As far as the roots go, mine are in all directions, so only the hops know for sure. The deeper (tap) roots are for drought resistance, as they seek water.They are in the ground, and while we've had a few warm days its been going below freezing at night. Hopefully that's done now that we're almost in April. I'll wait until I see some sprouts come up and then follow your advice. Do the roots that are important for growth this season mostly go straight down, and things I see coming off laterally with buds are fair game?

Last year, it was almost 3 weeks from the time I received my rhizomes to when I had them in the ground. When I went to plant it, there was almost another inch of growth compared to when I received it. I was worried that I waited to long, but it really took off and did well for a first year.Thanks for the link. The rhizomes looked good. Already with some growth.

I waited ~3 weeks maybe more before planting mine this year. I just tossed the ziplock bag in the back of the fridge. It took less than 4 days for it to sprout once I planted it.Last year, it was almost 3 weeks from the time I received my rhizomes to when I had them in the ground.
