No the wax was to protect the tree whilst in transit it will wear away!

you often get this wax when you buy some ornimentle trees and shrubs wear they use one plants roots stock on anothers top bit lol .

As the others say, leave it there - its usually over the graft point.

Thanks for answering my question about the wax on my new tree. you learn something new every day.
