Grafting on a Privet?

[berobinson82]

I've a small common privet that's missing a branch. I'm curious with their poor ability to callus, would it be possible to do an approach graft from the same tree? Has anyone out there performed or seen it done on this species? Your responses, as always, are appreciated.

Thank you,

B

Well here's a thread on Garden Express that might help:

That's good info. Thanks. I guess I saw the best option to be an in-arch graft. Perhaps the thread graft would be a more tried and true solution. There isn't too much on this species and grafting out on the web. Sometimes that spells difficulty. Thanks for the look bud.
