dishinstallers Just a newbie for sure. Join Date: May-2004 Location: Herald (Northern CA) Country: USA USDA Zone: 9 (Heat zone 8) AHS Heat Zone: ? Posts: 96	Thread Grafting/new Branch Diameter I was doing some reading and had a question. When you thread graft (the way I understand it) you take a shoot and bend it down (or up) to the location you have chosen for a new branch. This is where I am curious. What happens when you want to put branches lower on the trunk? The shoot will probably be larger in diameter where it meets the trunk and if you are bringing it down to make a new branch, how do you solve the problem of the new branch being smaller in diameter than branches further up on the trunk? Thanks in advance for explaining this to me! __________________ Terri

One way is to not prune it, another way is to leaf prune the whole tree except the new branch. Thread grafting is a procedure to correct a flawed tree and put branches in desired places. This is done on a tree in training. So once you have the branches in position, then you begin to train and develop them. -Kevin __________________ "Yes Daniel-san" -Mr. Miagi- Very addicting and extremely fun online game.
