Abstract

A new hop plant named ‘HBC 522’ is disclosed. ‘HBC 522’ is used for its exceptional and unique aromatic qualities.

Description

Genus and species: Humulus lupulus.
Variety denomination: ‘HBC 522’.
STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT
None
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
‘HBC 522’ is a product of a controlled breeding program carried out by the inventors in the Yakima Valley of Washington State. ‘HBC 522’ was one of several seedlings resulting from a controlled cross made in 2006 with female parent ‘Columbus’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,956) and male parent ‘986-2’ (unpatented). A single plant of ‘HBC 522’ was selected in 2009, and in 2010 the plant was asexually reproduced via softwood cuttings in a greenhouse near Toppenish, Wash., and expanded to 30 plants, which were planted in the area of Toppenish, Wash. The plants were observed and evaluated for several years, and in 2014 a 1 acre test plot of ‘HBC 522’ was established in the area of Moxee, Wash. Throughout several generations of asexual propagation, ‘HBC 522’ has been observed to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type.
COMPARISON OF ‘HBC 520’ TO PARENT PLANT AND COMARISON CULTIVAR
‘HBC 522’ is distinguishable from its male parent ‘986-2’ with flowers that develop into mature hop cones without producing pollen, while flowers of ‘986-2’ produce pollen without developing into mature hop cones.
Table 1. below, sets forth some of the distinguishing characteristics of ‘HBC 522’ as compared to its female parent ‘Columbus’, and to the ‘Cascade’ cultivar as a closely comparable cultivar.

FIG. 1 illustrates a mature ‘HBC 522’ hop plant grown on a trellis;
FIG. 2 illustrates whole cones and cross sections of cones of the ‘HBC 522’ hop plant;
FIG. 3 illustrates the bine of a mature ‘HBC 522’ hop plant;

The colors of these illustrations may vary with lighting conditions and, therefore, color characteristics of this new variety should be determined with reference to the observations described herein, rather than from these illustrations alone.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following description is based on observations made during the 2009-2015 growing seasons at Toppenish, Wash. It should be understood that the characteristics described will vary somewhat depending upon cultural practices and climatic conditions, and can vary with location and season. Quantified measurements are expressed as an average of measurements taken from a number of individual plants of the new variety. The measurements of any individual plant or any group of plants, of the new variety may vary from the stated average. All color references are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.
