G'Day Billgrubs. Just read in a nursery magazine that Acer are best grafted using the side graft. This leaves the leaves of the stock in place to feed the new scion. This method is best for conifers and a number if broad leaf trees Oaks etc. A photo of the grafts is on the Australian site but I will repost one here. The rootstock is simulated with the short piece for the photo in a real situation the stock would be a growing plant. The side graft is third from bottom.
