What are they? should they be cut off? do they harm the trees growth etc? Thank you Paul Port st Lucie, FL dancinok@comcast.net

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to see what it is that you are referring to.

They do flower some unimpressive blooms on occasion. It will not harm the tree to leave it, or cut it. They will fall off as they die.

Here is an article that will help you to care for the tree:
