Pruning a Yucca by chopping the trunk in half!!

 


Hi,

as from my previous thread, I've got a Yucca that's very deformed. I
posted a
question about lopping off the deformed branches, and I had a
mixed bag of
answers. Then I came acaross the link below:

I notice that the top of my Yucca has brown wax seal. It seems like I
don't have
much to loose by trying the pruning technique as suggested
below, but I wondered
if I should re-seal the top of the bottom branch,
and if so, can anyone
recommend what I should seal it with?

Anyone know why they are sealed? Is it to prevent branches sprouting
out the top?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

Tom.
