Well, after several years of very low yield hop growing, I have just heard that bull shoots should be cut. The advice I had been following up to this point was "Leave the strongest 4-6 bines, cut the rest." But the strongest 4-6 bines are what I now understand are these bull shoots. What I mean by low yield is that I am getting about 3 oz. total out of 8 plants.
My question is: should I cut this year's bull shoots now that they are already 6-8 ft. high and I have already cut all the other new growth, or should I let the current situation continue?
My gut says to cut them and hope for new growth. Worst case scenario, they don't produce this year, right?
