Default Will these bananas still ripen with no leaves?

Hello all, I posted this question on my existing thread in banana identification because we still aren’t sure what variety this is but I haven’t had any feedback there yet.

My photo link shows my bananas from bloom (day after Thanksgiving) to now and the damage they took a couple weeks back from our record cold snap here in the Clearwater Florida area. The pstem seems fine on all my trees and they have all since put up new cigars (except the one with fruit of course) so it seem like they’ll all be fine. My question is about the banana plant with hanging fruit. Since all the leaves froze will the bunch still ripen on the peduncle? I’ve had some guesses on the type but nothing concrete. I left the male flowers if that helps identify at some point. It seems like the little bananas are in a holding pattern as far as getting bigger or longer. They are still quite small with a few purple splotches.
Thanks
