This Expert Grafting Trick Resurrects DEAD Fruit Trees!

Last year, the unthinkable happened: my 5 year old pawpaw tree died. The graft failed, leaving me with a useless rootstock. Rather than dig up and replace the tree, I ordered scion wood and using a simple grafting tool, I grafted the wood and now have 3 pawpaw varieties growing on a single tree! This expert grafting trick resurrects dead fruit trees, and it's so simple, but hardly anyone does it. Here's how!
