My 2 biggest trees have a huge cylinder, kind of purplish color and is pulling the top down. Is this my long awaited bananas? Anything special to keep the top up? Thanks to all replies!

That does sound like the "blossom". It will end up bending over and pointing down; it's not going to keep growing straight up to the sky. If necessary, you could stake the main "stem" to keep it from breaking, but you shouldn't have to.
