If the plant has vigorous
shoot growth and the bark is still slipping you can still do T-bud. But if 
plant is no longer actively growing (i.e. bark is not slipping) use chip bud.
Otherwise wait till spring to splice graft using dormant scionwood.
Or if you have the space just plant more females on either side of the male.
