My two hop plants have spent the winter in my greenhouse and both have started growing - one is now over 1.2m high. I want to plant one on my allotment asap but there is a height restriction of 8'. I am making a frame 80cm wide by 2m high with 5 runs of jute cord. I have read that trying to train the hops to grow horizontally is time consuming so I am thinking of making the next section go from 2 m to 2.3m so there is still some change in height. The horizontal section would be 80cms wide and 2.4m in length with the possibility of joining on to another frame which I am thinking of building. My questions are - is 80cms wide enough to take up to 5 bines and how much is lack of height going to hinder their growth ? thanks G
