Pete,

My suggestion is wait until active growth has begun and the bark is in 
the slip. I would use a splice, whip and tongue or machine graft. Wrap 
it tight and cover it with Parafilm. I would also place foil on the 
south leaving it open to the north to shad it from the sun to keep it 
cool. It works I've grafted several plums.
