question about hop-growing

[Lanark]

I have a Cascad growing in my garden and just as the vine was around 7 feet the tip of the hop broke. Subsequently the rest of the plant has gone off in every direction- sprouted arms from beneath the leafs.I have one more vine coming off the rhizome(out of the earth) and my aim is to maximise hop-yield. But I don't know what to do. The vine that has lost its head has suddenly sprung shots in every direction.... will it wield hops or should I cut them off and lett the other proper vine grown upwards?

Any help appreciated!

Its totally fine. All you have done is removed the growing tip, and it will send out side shoots naturally.

Yes, a very common technique for filling out a 'leggy' shrub. Pinch the other one out too, and then some
Of the side shoots to gets loads of growth going. It's what I do with mine. I also feed a liquid seaweed feed to help things along.
