I believe some people cut the male flowers and bud off after bananas stop showing, however leave sufficient amount of space after the last hand of fruit because the flower stalk will shrivel up a bit and if you cut it too close it will take a couple of hands down with it which would really suck. Not sure how much space to leave, maybe someone with more knowledge can answer better.
