If you want them to fruit, you shouldn't be touching the green (healthy) leaves - good fruit production is dependant upon the number of healthy leaves the plant has. Hawai'i says 10 leaves per plant for optimum bunch production.

Oh, and your GNs could get taller, up to 15' in my experience. Then again, I don't have winter like you do.
