Tried a quick search, both here and google but didn't find much in the way of an answer.
What are the downsides of trimming hop plants at the top when they reach, say, 10' tall and just allowing them to become bushier? Would it even matter, or will they just keep growing up?
The reason I ask is because my hop garden is setup to allow them to grow to about 10' tall. I can rig up a way to have them continue to grow, but it won't be too easy, and it'll have to be fairly hokey.
So with that, I'm wondering if there are any reasons that limiting the height by trimming the top would be detrimental to the growth and yield.
