I am up-potting a microcarpa, and I have a few whips I rooted a few seasons ago. I would like to toss in a whip and a graft it to a mid-level horizontal branch. The branch forks on the horizontal plane, and I was thinking about using that fork to camouflage the approach graft and hide the scar from being seen at the front. I wanted to let the tree and whip cohabitate until next spring to do the actual grafting Are there any holes in this plan?
 
Can't see any holes.
Ficus graft really easily so you should have no problem with that part of the project.
 
Please post pics?
Thinking about doing it next spring.
