grafting shimpaku...
greetings! I have some shimpakus that could benefit in design by the addition of "new" primary branching. I have never performed this operation on any species before. so on that note, considering the form of these trees as they are, even a failed attempt would be gainfull for the sake of experience.
i have been reading up on the basic process but can't find much info on shimpakus. being late spring in zone 9b, would this be an appropriate time? also can older wood up to 1/2" possibly take to thicker stock to create a more intersting trunk line with better taper?
