Pennsylvania hops: sidearms??? 5/23/18

[alastairblake]

I have a Zeus, Chinook and Cascade hop plant and they appear to be very happy... What I am curious about is if I am seeing 'sidearms' or additional 'bines' sprouting out of the sides. last year they wanted to keep climbing for the most part. How would you all recommend trimming these up etc?

I think the cone's are growing on these side arms. At least in my experiance. First the center runner get growing. After that the sidearms get growing and on that the burr's and cone's.
