I should live so long. It's nice to have reliable information ahead of time.
Everybody told me Betula 'Trost's Dwarf' is very slow. Nobody warned me that
if I wired the trunk in May, it would be cutting in by July.

I doubt it. The totally opposing method may be due to difference in climate,
variety, or other factors that are never mentioned. I enjoyed Walter Pall's
recent article about Ulmus minor (the correct name), but it only bore out
everything I had already discovered about 'Jacqueline Hillier.' At least I know that
what I am doing with it is on the right track.
