I too have recieved one of these...
and I have no idea which end to scrape the paraffin off.
One end has a green sticker on it.
and there appears to be paraffin at both ends, and all over the trunk.
Any advice much appreciated.
(The girlfriend gave it to me saying I couldn't possibly kill it,
which appears to be true if I cant even grow it)
Dub.

As it is a Spanish plant I'm wondering if the translation has lost something and perhaps I should have scraped off the wax on the whole surface. Any suggestios would be gratefully received.
