Sounds interesting. The technical challenges to overcome would be finding the genetically identical knee and finding flexible enough (immature) lower branches for the thread graft.
Actually, the first obstacle would be to find collecting grounds for BC. My understanding it that it is illegal to collect them in Louisianna. Not so in East Texas or Arkansas. I am still looking for the opportunity to find my very own collected BC.
