I have no experience with Cardaba, but, generally suckers slow the growth of the main banana plant. It is common practice to remove or destroy suckers. To get my 'Truly Tiny' to bloom, I had to destroy suckers once or twice per week. The easiest way for me to do this was to use an electric hand drill with an oversized bit.
