My 8 yr old nephew and I experimented with a few back in June. Only 2 of the 5 survived the other ones rotted. I already did the "chop" to force them to branch. It's been a slower process than the videos make it seem. We should have kept a log of the progress, but my nephew got bored after the roots formed 😀. I potted them once the stems grew. They're in an east facing window and water every 10 days or so. Yours looks great and I would think you'll have a nice little tree by spring.
