A sister of Jester®, Olicana® is more leafy, taller and vigorous.
This variety was planted in 2009 in Herefordshire/Worcestershire and released commercially in 2014.
It was not originally selected as it was Powdery Mildew susceptible like Challenger, however Olicana® is more tolerant.
The hop was trialled by Mark Andrews of Townend Farm, Herefordshire and is now commercially grown by Townend Farm and Stocks Farm, Worcestershire.

It shoots very late with thin cuttings and can restrict propagation.
