Is it necessary to cut down a banana tree after it has had a stalk of bananas?

I suppose it isn't "necessary" but the stem will not fruit again, however it is consuming water and nutrients. If there are new shoots coming up, then it is time to remove the old stem and let the energy go into a new fruiting stem.
