So far 2 of the 3 scions are putting out growth. I'm hoping the 3rd gets around to it eventually.
How are the aligned grafts gonna hold up when each branch begins to bulk and swell up after a few years? It looks like a water trap as well.
I’ve always seen grafts done at different elevations, never all around one point in a tree.
This is pretty typical for bark grafts when you want to switch out the variety on a tree. Usually you'd keep one (the strongest/biggest) and cut off the other two, but I'm trying to do multiple varieties. I think it should be OK, but you make a good point and I'll keep an eye on it.
