I will cut this graft next year in May ->

I'll check the other side next spring, while removing the soil surface. Dunno yet if i will repot it next spring.

Why so long to remove it? do you think it is still not taken by the tree? Or any signs of that? curious to understand the reasoning more because it seems that it is already fused

Hello Maros ! It is approx. 10 - 12cm depending how much soil you remove to show nebari.

Impressive dimensions already, taking into account starting point. Good luck.

Maybe i should (or could) have cut it earlier, but with grafts, it is better to cut too late, rather than too early.
