r/Grafting

I’m grafting a standard maple branch that happens to have verigated leaves onto a large decorative maple tree that makes red leaves so the type is matched but I’m worried my quick graft might fail, I decided to slap it on the tree when getting rid of some ivy so I didn’t do a great job on it.

it‘s now wrapped in electrical tape which I read is really good at keeping light out and securing things tightly as I didn’t have the specific stuff on hand, I can always undo it as I put it on yesterday and recut the edge as there’s quite a bit of air in the graft if I can tighten the gap a bit more.

The picture is the one I’m debating getting… but I would really love to hear from everyone here! I want to see your knives and hear why you like it so much?!

My mind isn’t made up at all… which is why I am posing this question and wanting to know what people have To say beforehand… all discussion is welcome!
