My first year hops are doing really well. The Magnum and Chinook are 12+ feet tall and putting off cones for couple weeks now. Cascades are not so hot but seem to have taken off lately.
My question is this. From what I read around here, I want to leave runners and snip new shoots. I've got bines that orignate from the main bine at about 1/2 inch above ground. I have been considering these runners. Is this assumption correct and I should leave them? Only considering growth that clearly originates below the earth as new shoots?
Thanks
