Wait until one banana turns yellow, then cut the bunch down.
Bagging the bunch will protect them from insects/birds and cause them to ripen faster.
The stalk will die after fruiting. Leave it; the plant will recycle the water.
Eventually the keiki will bear fruit, and the cycle will repeat. Next bunch will be larger.
Congratulations!
