When is a good time to remove the other hands? Do you wait till they all open than remove what you don't want? Or remove them now? Also the first hand has more bananas than the picture shows so wasn't sure if I should leave on all of the first hand either.

I am learning my lesson about pruning. If you don't prune, the bottom ones won't do anything! Had one with 300 bananas. I pruned 2 hands off? (Can't remember) but in the end only around a 100 filled out, maybe a little more. So now I need to be more generous and cut off a lot. But this one doesn't even have leaves so I really need to prune!
