If I let all 10 hands develop, I would be throwing away underdeveloped fruit around Thanksgiving. I would rather get 3-5 hands late in the season than none at all. If it were earlier in the year I would not prune them off. Your in Hawaii so I imagine you have bigger bunches that will take longer to fill in. 120 days is typical for me. A little less with 3-4 hands.
