Yes, unfortunately, i have read a lot about it. :=(
Actually there is not much to lose. If i do not try layering, i will have to chop that part off anyway. If it works, it will be a bonus. I just want to increase my chance of success.
I could not see a grafts scar. The tree is at least 15 years old. Can the bark cover the graft wound through time?
