A couple of things from my experience with similar grafting. Firstly 4 ft.
is way too high to cut off the 5 inch trunk and graft. I cut them off even
with the ground, or as close as I can get, and then bark graft. This keeps
the graft union from freezing out during a cold winter, which does happen to
me often on bark grafts above the snow (zone 3/2).
The commercial guys use the green or white Dr. Farewells compound over the
trunk, whick is like a waxy paint.
