Hi Adam,
I guess your idea may not be good for international trades, at least for me 
. Nonetheless, I have some queries after watching your video on grafting, hopefully you can enlighten me with some tips. First, you seem to wrap up the scion completely, including over the buds, is it true? Then, the buds would push through the tape, or your buddy tape? Second, can I do a Clive graft with some leaves cut half? Third, what is the common ways to dwaft a fruit tree?
(Will write to you later for order.)
Thanks.

Tuckee,
yes you must wrap the entire scion, even the buds that will eventually break through the tape.
the tape must be stretched thinly over the scion, so it can easily break through.
when i wrap the graft union, i stretch the tape differently, so it's very tight, like a rope.
I use the same tape for everything (buddy tape)...but u can use almost anything to wrap the graft union....just be sure not to let it girdle the tree as it's healing...I always try to remove the tape around the graft union as soon as possible....the tape on the scion can be left on to biodegrade.
yes you can do a cleft with leaves cut in half, but you must bag up the scion, like I did on the second graft in my video (m strigipes on m glazioviana)
you can dwarf a tree by keeping it in a pot sometimes....or you can find a good dwarfing rootstock...quince rootstock is supposed to dwarf loquat...and flying dragon rootstock is supposed to dwarf citrus trees...i'm sure there are dwarfing rootstocks for myrciaria, and annona...and other species...but i don't know which is which at this point...that takes many years of experience...I've only been grafting for about 4-5yrs.
hope this helps!
