Answer 1

This is, simply, a seal for when the plant was pruned. In a nursery setting, where there are many trees in one spot, it is useful to keep diseases to a minimum.

This treatment isn't, usually, necessary in the home setting.

This will not harm your plant, nor will you need to do anything with it.
