My rubber plant is one single stem growing about 6 feet high. I'd like it to be more like a bush. And, I want to top it. Can it be done?[EMAIL]null[/EMAIL]

Yes, you can prune off the top if it is too tall. If it is healthy, new growth will emerge just below the point of the cut and grow up from there. Sometimes you get lucky and you get two stems that emerge, but that is the exception.
The best way to get a bush form is to plant multiple plants in the same pot.
