I lost 3 of the 4 I had last year. Nothing grew at all.
When I dug the roots out of the 5 gal bucket, they were huge (after only 2yrs, this would be their third), so took a chance, dug some holes, put in some cow manure and put the root balls in. Not likely to do anything this year, but will see in the spring. If still nothing, will just dig them up.
Was amazed at how big they grew compared to when I planted them 2yrs ago.
Ones I got this year, only the 2 centennial grew. Once I transplanted them out doors, they look like they are shriveling up, thinking maybe it was too much hot sun, too fast. Maybe the rain over this week will revive them.
So out of 2 Chinook, Fuggles, Golding, that I had over the last 2 yrs, and the 2 Centennial and 2 Cascade I got this year, I am left with 1 Golding, and 2 Centennial that actually grew. Not looking good!
