Japanese Juniper -procumbens nana

[esteve59]

Has anyone had success doing a thread graft or approach graft on Junipers to increase girth at the base....?
I am looking at one to purchase that has very nice branching but almost no taper.....
Thanks

i have seen juniper squamata seedlings fused together, three seedlings were wrapped and braided tightly from a young age after a bare root, then wired and movement put in and then grown on for several years quite successfully.

so an approach graft might work just fine as long as ypu dont damage any lifelines to the branches above where you intend on grafting.
