This question is for all pine species however more specifically aimed at the one I have in question.. Pinus Syvestris Argentea.
Is it relatively still safe and viable for me to perform several types of grafts including approach grafts?
Other than cut paste (which I currently do not have) are there alternatives to safely seal the wounds?

Re: Pines - Grafting
I just use grafting tape and wrap the graft union well for approach and scion grafts

Re: Pines - Grafting
With approach graft method, the graft exits on the side of the trunk which doesn't seem an optimal placing..
Do I simply extend the exit portion around the trunk so that it appears more to come out from the middle?
