I'm inclined to agree with VenturaBananas. Here is the other benefit, if the tall ones shade the pups they may not get frosted. Secondly if the tall one get burnt you can cut them off tall and use the butt to support frost cloth to protect the pups. If you do not get a frost then you will have two bunches waiting to mature. Two years ago I had that happen and was eating bananas by May!

Just let them go! can't really hurt and you'll have the pleasure of watching the bloom open each day.

OH I don't cut my blooms off when the Male flowers start coming either BUT that is just because I like looking at them. LOL
