I haven't done it yet, but I've read that they will fuse without doing that. But, digging a nice little bed for the graft into the bark of the host tree will certainly speed up the process.bonsaibeginer wrote:I know this is a relativly old post but just wandering about the fusing... would you need to shave some of the bark off were you want the tree's to fuse or just leave them intact? I mean just expose the cambium layer or anything?
Still waiting on these pictures though...
Thanks
I think also the trick is to induce maximum growth while you're trying to fuse.
