My first banana, a DC, is fruiting. It has choke, but there's a nice bunch of bananas forming at what would be the "top" of the bunch:

But, towards the bottom of the bunch, there are tons of what appear to be small bananas, but they're only about an inch or so long, and I just can't imagine these will grow into actual bananas:

Will these actually develop into bananas?
Also, one of the reasons I'm asking is that I saw a video where the grower clipped the flower after it stopped forming bananas, so the plant would focus it's energy on ripening the fruit.
Should I clip the flower, and if so, should I leave these "baby' fruits at the bottom of the bunch?
Thanks for the help!
