Time for Rhizomes to break the surface?

[Oktober]

Hey BNer's,

I recieved my rhizomes from NikoBrew about a week ago (1x Sterling, 1x Centennial). They have not been planted for a week and I have yet to see any bines breaking throug the soil surface yet. For those of you experienced hop growers, how long does it take for a new rhizome to establish itself and start coming up through the soil? I'm not there yet, but at what point should I start worrying about them?

Thanks folks!

I've had them take up to a month. Usually they are a bit quicker, around 2 weeks.

There may be a frost tonight so we'll see what happens...

I've got nine plants ranging from 1 - 4 years old. Some of the older plants produced 20+ shoots this year so I mowed them all down and steamed them. They were great and the second round of shoots are already nearly 3' tall.

What does steaming them do? did you eat them?!

[BadRock]

Yes, they are very much like asparagus.
