I have a 1st year Cascade plant that is about 11ft tall and has started producing baby cones that are still very small. Just today I noticed that 4 of these cones were either completely eaten or wilted and discolored. I found a cricket/grasshoper thing on my hop plant so I took him away, but is it best to prune the munched hop cones? Or just leave them? Will they grow back or no? Is it safe to spray insecticidal soap on the cones, or just near them?
