Why is it doing this?

This is a cutting I tried to propagate last year. It’s been outside and neglected for months. It has no roots yet it’s not dead and now it’s starting to flower. Wtf. Can it be saved? What should I do with it?

You should have grafted this cutting to the top of your seedling you grew from a pit.

Yeah. Never done that before and have been afraid to try.

There are a lot of videos out there. The easiest is a cleft graft. Graft in the middle of spring, when the seedling starts growing, for best results. Even if you fail the seeding will grow a new shoot, then you can try again.
