I took the plunge over the Easter break, my first graft. Here are a few photos. The first shows the tree before hand and the reason for the graft.

I had to put two screws in to hold the donner tree in place, one is covered by the sealant. It was quite a struggle to get it in the right place. I am also a little concerned, that on one side there is a gap in the join, which will probably have been filled with the sealant. Can anyone tell me if the bark will bridge this gap, or am I going to have problems later on.

Finally, am I looking at two or three years before I even take a look under the sealant to see what's happened?
