Re: broken leaves
I would wait until the leaves turn brown. The leaves can still feed the plant broken.

Re: broken leaves
First rule of bananas: never, ever, ever remove anything that is green.

Re: broken leaves
Leaves are like solar panels. Less leaves means less energy which means fewer and/or small fruit.
