My first two Cascade plants yielded 1/2 a pound per plant. That got be about 4 batches. Well grown, a mature Cascade plant (2-4 years old) can yield up to 2lbs.

Keep mind, millage may very, my typical batch and your typical batch are likely to be two very separate things. Also, I used them in a different ways for every batch. For instance, I dry hopped a pale ale, I used some for bittering , some for aroma, etc. I wanted to get the feel for their alpha acid content.
