Huge chinotto collected

I saw a photo of this tree and thought it was way smaller. But I decided to dig it anyway.

I love the species and have only just discovered it.

It’s obviously grafted they are very similar looking to cumquat trees but u think these must be more vigorous.
The Italians make a weard drink from the red bitter fruit.

Do you reckon it will pull through the collection. ?

I wonder if I could air layer it about half an inch below the graft. And make anything decent for it in the future.

Citrus will easily air layer

Just FYI, layering below the graft will create a tree of whatever rootstock the chinotto has been grafted to, most likely not 'chinotto'.

Weird perhaps but tasty as far as I am concerned
