Re: Choking?
Once a pseudostem produces fruit, it is done. It will quickly dry up, and I cut them down as soon as this starts happening. Since there is no longer a reason to protect the stem, anything you can do to allow the fruit to develop makes sense. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I'd free the blossom/fruit and try to leave as much stalk and foliage as possible for support.
