Jaboticaba Grafting: alternatives to cleft grafting

[mcoambassador]

Has anyone had luck with grafts for jaboticaba, other than cleft grafting?

A cleft is the only one I’ve seen mentioned, and usually in reference to a single scion onto rootstock. But what about for very thin scions grafting onto branches of a mature tree? With figs at least, the whip-and-tongue is the gold standard for such grafts, as it’s strong and provides more Cambrian contact. While figs are soft wood, w&t is the recommended graft for persimmons too, which are similarly hard wood like jaboticaba. Side grafts or bark grafts are also common.

I've successfully done whip & tongue graft's on Jabos

I bought some Jabo seedlings to cut scions for grafting.
The scions were toothpick or thinner.
I used inlay side graft.
Peeled a strip of bark on the thick rootstock, the width of the scion, and slid the scion under.

Trimmed rootstock after the graft had mature leaves.
