Title: Re: [NAFEX] stonefruit grafting I've never grafted any limbs/trunks more than two inches in diameter as it seems that the tree has a harder time healing larger diameter grafts. However, you might be able to do it if you put in as many as four grafts. Three of them are to help heal the wound, and the fourth is encouraged to grow. Keep the "healers" pinched back so they won't compete too much.

I've only grafted a couple of plums - back when all I knew how to do was a
simple whip/splice graft. Got reasonable success, but I didn't know enough
to be scared to do them that way.
I've got some 'Guthrie' P.angustifolia scions that I'm going to be trying
on P.angustifolia and P.americana rootstocks this spring - Lon, would you
recommend just beheading the rootstock and doing a bark graft?
Any other recommendations are welcome.
