Anyone else ever grown a tronquito?

Question

A tronquito is one of those small log things you buy in Spanish gift shops. They are covered in wax and you scrape it off one end, stand that end in water and hopefully it will sprout branches. Well mine has sprouted four, and looks very healthy, but I'd like to know if I can eventually get it out of a bowl of water and into soil. It has some strange white lumps around the bottom end now and I'm wondering if they are the beginnings of roots. Anyone else ever bought one of these things and stuck with it?

Incidentally, the word tronquito can mean either a small log or a bull's p***s, depending on whether you are gardening or cooking.

Answer 1

Yes we've grown one - didn't know it was called that though.  Yes we had it in soil too.   Can't remember what happened to it in the end but I know we had it a while.
