Byron Martin’s three favorite summer wall climbers: Schisandra berry (Schisandra chinensis), Goji Berry (Lycium barbarum 'Crimson Star'), and Hops ‘Willamette’ (Humulus lupulus). All three are extremely easy to care for and are growing side by side at Logee’s. Also, they are hardy perennials so once established on a wall or lattice, they will come back year after year and produce delicious berries and flowers.

Hops ‘Willamette’ (Humulus lupulus) |
Hops are a fast growing hardy perennial. This vine at Logee’s is two-years old and by the first of July has already reached the top of the lattice.

The fragrant flowers bloom in abundance from female plants |
We grow ‘Williamette’ an aromatic variety which is one of the most favored hops for pale ales, brown ales or UK style ales |
