While I'll still do a whip & tongue on occasion, and a 3 or 4 flap for 
large-caliper pecan or walnut scions, I do a bark graft for almost 
everything, from pecans, hickories, walnuts, & oaks to persimmons, 
mulberries, and pears; quick, easy, scion & rootstock don't have to be the 
same size, and success rates have been as high(or higher) as for any other 
technique I've tried.
