Hey!  That's a great idea.  I have just planted one male and one female Kolomikta so don't have much 
experience to go by.  However, the male seems much more vigorous at this point and the suggestion of 
grafting a female branch onto it is a great idea.

Any suggestions on what sort of graft to do in this situation?
