can't patent that
You've been able to patent asexually reproduced plants since 1930, so if a new paper production centric hemp breed was primarily reproduced by cuttings it would be patent-able. If said hemp breed were reproduced via seeds, then you'd need to use the Plant Variety Protection Act of 1970 which allows very similar legal protections.
