Have you ever tried to do a bark graft over a large wound?

New one on me
. Think would be very hard if not impossible as cambium(life)layer around edges is cut and would be pretty hard to make tight exact fit all around edges. However large wounds can make nice dead wood in time

If you have a hole that you just can't stand, and have matching bark, you can glue. Lots of the "pros" do it from what I've been told. Yes it seems and probably is cheating... Most of us don't think of it (uro's) as a defect, if done well, it can add to the beauty of the tree.

It's done on regular trees.
Alot like bud grafting really.
I used it in an almond orchard where horses chewed huge chunks of bark off.
We actually used some pretty thin bark in some cases. Almost a total success.
Of course it may have had something to do with who I was working with.

You seem to know much about this kind of thing. Thank you for the links.
-------
Has anyone heard of a method of inducing a tree to form a bud (where there was none before) by cutting the bark a certain way?
I read about it in a book I once had. The author claimed it was a very exact and advanced skill, but those who know it are usually successful. I am guessing some trees respond better than others.
If I could just find the name of the technique...just a word to Google.

I know nothing at all more advanced than scarifying the tree where you want new growth. I have never tried, but I heard second-hand from someone who eventually got it to work (on a privet) after trying for several years.

I'm starting to wonder if the guy knew what he was talking about.

If it would work it would be great.
Grafts are usually not as strong

Stopping the sapflow of the outer layer under a viable bud, should (like with airlayering) promote this area to produce a shoot. Some do it with little holes of a pushpin. Some do it with carving with a sharp knife. No experience with it.
