Unhappy Accidentally butchered this banana!

Hello! I just got this Apple Manzano banana tree a while back. I got a cut corm from a HUGE sized banana tree! I decided since I’ve had luck in the past with cutting off a bit of the top of the corm to get it to start growing sooner than later. I guess b/c it is so big that my butcher knife was not a good enough tool to use. So I accidentally butchered it pretty badly! It seems to be okay so far but I’m a bit worried that I might have killed it! Do I have to cut it down further? Leave it alone? I had heard that you’re suppose to use some type of machete to cut down or cut the leaves off. What kind of machete works best? Thanks!
