Bunya- Araucaria bidwillii grafted from mature lateral 30y/o in a pot!

Here is a picture of a Bunya (Araucaria bidwillii) I grafted from a mature lateral (from 90' up) from a large old tree about a mile from my home. I wanted to experiment to see if it would grow low & fruit within reach. Only trouble is I never planted it out & it is still in a 10 gal. pot!


It has not been watered for almost 20 years though it has a root into the ground. It can't be a very extensive root though because I dragged it to a new location only 4-5 years ago. I must plant it this winter as it deserves a chance to show its potential.......I reckon it's earned the opportunity to grow! I was originally grafting these with araucana & angustifolia scions for hardiness & longevity & this particular combination was tried on a momentary whim.
