Banana question

Deep South Coastal, TX(Zone 10a)

These are growing on my Dwarf Cavendish banana. They have been set since Sept. It made 9 hands(bunches) then skipped a space and made 6 or 7 more bunches but those last ones haven't grown at all, just little green nanas, sitting there the same size they were to start with. The first 9 hands set, then we had rain so no nanas, then the last bunches set during a cool spell. Should I cut the little ones off? Here is a picture of the big nanas, I will try to take a pic of the little ones tomorrow.

Oh my goodness.......that is a big bunch of bananas. How much longer before they are ripe?

Mel, found you a house on the island...... lush gardens, pool, plasma tv in every room, courtyards, covered balconies. It's an interior property, so you won't have as much wind and salt damage to the flowers in the gardens and those are cheaper than bayfront or gulf front............
Frannie, these should be ripe in March. They take about 6 months to ripen don't they? Come on down and we'll make a nana puddin!
Here is the picture of the little nanas at the bottom that haven't grown. Should I cut them off?
(don't look at the weeds in the gravel, not only do plants grow year round, so do weeds!)

The house on the island is only 750K.
