You can find seeds in whole ('leaf') hops, especially diploid varieties like Cascade, Fuggle, Golding, etc. They tend to have low viability, and need to be stratified before germination, but worth a try.

I am also trying to find a male hop plant for the same reason i.e. have a dabble at breeding. I have tried to grow seeds collected from cascade cone hops but none have struck. Have you had any luck with this

Hi Jozsef

I found a seed from some Pacific Gem pellets if you are interested in it.  If you give me your address I'll put it in the mail if you want.
