Knee pads are your friend DPack. Whilst talking about rootstock. I bought a Victoria plum tree last year and one of the branches has been broken by something, it is hanging by a thread and still growing but what is the best to attach it back properly, or is there no way to do it and should I just cut it off? Thanks.

snip

it will be a different shape, work with that

re grafting i know little, fast blade work and a nice bandage, spose that applies to a few things, seems to work
slow and careful seems less effective than bold and caring

a new hand is well outside my expedition medic skill set but i could sort removing a problem appendix

trees are have less friends than people so if a few die etc

re grafting plants, i am not the go to expert
i try, sometimes it works, often it does not, 25% success maybe over a few years

these got a new style of cut, hopefully it has put the plumbing of both together
