Quite the package!
Any chance of getting some more roots off the dong?

Spring time. I use those breathable veggie storage bags with some sphaggy and wrap the branch. I might try perlite next time as the moss is a hassle to remove thoroughly. Try it out, I use this method with some success. Still not quite sure what I'm gonna do with this thing!

One of my new olives would fit right in on this thread! I'll try to get a picture today.

I'm glad you went first by starting the thread; I couldn't quite bring myself to post it on its own!
Clearly a prime candidate for the chainsaw flat cut . . .

IMHO
Cut back
Root the cutting
You could try to grow arial roots
Or try to add some movement in the shaft. Lol

This is an olive?
What does the top look like?
Can you grow roots above the balls?
Is that called a ground layer? (Air layer)

Yep, it's an olive, and the top is chopped just above the photo's edge. They root very easily, so I don't really even have to "ball-layer" it, but I may on this one.

@LanceMac10 - If it had a curve or something (trying to keep a straight face), it might be better in a design, but it sure stands out as such a linear element. Any chance it's bendable at that size - clamps maybe? Cold water? It might be kind of cool if it touched the ground (rooting at that point) and then bent up again. Maybe you could just raise the soil level (probably layering), grow some vertical shoots and go raft-ish . . . I think that's the technical term. I'm sure there's a Japanese term that means clumpy at one end and rafty at the other 
Oh, also, what's the variety?

The ever popular Penisaurus Erectus maximus. They're everywhere (or so I'm told).

C'mon, we can do better than that! It needs a tree name; not a dinosaur name
How about Dendrophalloides for the genus (literally "phallus shaped tree") . . .
As for the species epithet . . . Lance's and mine are clearly different species, so maybe linealis and virilis . . .
Dendrophalloides linealis
Dendrophalloides virilis
Sounds legit to me!
