Re: When to pick?
You don't have to, but if you can wait for at least one or two of them to start showing a little color then you'll know it is OK to either harvest the whole bunch or take off a few at a time as you want them. If you take the whole bunch, the rest will go ahead and begin to ripen. Sometimes they will start to ripen all at the same time so unless you want to be eating a lot of bananas at once I'd cut a few at a time if the current weather conditions will allow you to leave most of them attached. I'm not sure what your weather is like so if cold weather is likely you may be forced to cut the whole bunch and allow them to ripen inside. That is what usually happens to me.
