Im definitely not a grafting expert… far from it. But everytime I’ve tried a graft which the root stock still had lots of foliage has failed for me. I’ve had better success cutting back most of the rootstocks foliage in order for the graft to survive.

I look forward to seeing pictures of your Tree Centipede, Dr Rusofil
That seems interesting, anyone tried this?
