In the spring next year ill be grafting a branch on an Amur maple.

Ive always done the side veneer graft from the first link in propagating Japanese maples. I think the plugger would probably leave less of a scar though. Just my opinion. Anyone else here use the plugger? Im interested as well.

Whats interesting about the plugger is :

Quote:

The bit has exactly the same taper as a standard pencil sharpener.

This way it's a perfect match. Any toughts ?
