This isn't quite there yet, still some things to fix, immature branches, the straight bit at the head, no nebari to speak of, but it is in flower and I figure I am up for the challenge (or the critique depending on how it goes).
This is the largest chainsawed stump I have attempted but as shown they can be quite large and still take. This is a result of a larger Bougie falling in a cyclone, the branch hitting the ground and beginning to take root, so some root was on it by the time I got to it but not what you would call substantial. Hence it is still buried as the nebari builds and I lift it.
The first photo is at June 14, it was collected I think earlier that same year. did have photos but they got lost in a hard drive crash. July 2015 Dec 2015 April 2016 today Sept 2016 thanks for looking

works for me - i'd be interested to see what the nebari looks like when its ready to lift

I have one I dug in Autumn that is a carbon copy of this minus the branching, just a stump at this stage with a few small shoots.

I like the direction it is going, thanks for the inspiration.
