i would leave the tip of the p-stem the way it is...if you cut it you could be opening it up for bugs or rot. put it in the pot or ground and watch it take off like a shot! when you do plant it, keep it in the shade for a week or two and then slowly move it into the sun.if your putting it right in the ground get some shade cloth or something to shade it for a while. if you just put it in the sun it will burn. jmo.btw....your nana could just be "stressed", maybe thats why the p-stem is the way it is...but without pics we dont know.
