I have a 3 year old cascade plant that has gone through a few environmental changes in the past few years. I took it from a cooler climate to a much hotter one and removed it from its pot a few weeks ago. When I planted it in the ground, I cut down all of its bines to make it easier. Thankfully, it is sprouting again and has a good number of potential bines. I believe I remember reading that you want to cut back most of them and let the plant focus on a small number. I would really like to get a yield this year as I have never gotten any hops from the plants. I got some their first year, but was unable to pick them. Should I just let the plant do its thing and not cut any back? Should I keep only a certain number of them? Am I out of luck for the year because it has already put out a lot of bines and I have cut them down? Any tips would be great!
