Those brown tops protect the rest of the nanas from bacteria and stuff to get inside the stem . If you do cut the top off the rest of the pstem will get rotted or to depend itself the top portion of the stem will get browned again.
They are tough kind and sooner than you think, the spears will penetrate that brown tops and you will have a new leaf coming out.
Goodp point, but if the plant is potted and has such a large corm, it is not very likel to pup unless trying to put lots of energy into the new growth and in the end, it will be choking.
