@ Growing hops in Florida

Hello there:


I live in south Florida and I have a large backyard. My son is into home-brewing and has



asked me to grow some hop plants for him. He has ordered three different varieties of hops;



they might be Hallertau, Fuggle and cascade.


Is there anyone in Florida that has grown hops that would like to share some



of their experience?


I grow oranges, grapefruits, blueberries, mangos and guavas in my backyard and they do just



fine but I was just wondering is there too much heat for the hops? Or ground too sandy?


Thank you for your reply.

They like sandy soil I believe, and lots and lots of sun. Just make sure they get watered regularly...
