I ordered 4 sticks last year, and got 1 circular and 3 angular ones. I suppose if you're budding, it doesn't matter, but I haven't tried budding yet. I cut them in half and did 3 bark & 5 clefts, with only 1 angular cleft straight failing. I've done a couple clefts with other scions that small, onto new growth, but with only about 60% success. I prefer clefts, but now wouldn't hesitate with bark grafts to get it into a desired position.
