These two photos show an approach graft which was done using a flexible shoot from the same tree. It is held in position using two drawing pins to ensure that the cambium layers of the tree and the approach graft are in good contact with one another.

The tree is starting to have some branch structure. This photo was taken after the long branches were cut back.
The branches need wiring and this will be done in February, and the wire will only remain on for a short time as the branches will swell quickly as the tree grows in the Spring.
