Here are the simple steps in grafting the gumamela:
The rootstock used for cleft grafting should be straight grained. The scion should be long enough .
Preparing the Stock. The stock should be sawed off with a clean, smooth cut perpendicular to the main axis of the stem to be grafted. Using a small scalpel, make a split or cleft through the center of the stock.
Preparing the Scion. Using a scalpel, start near the base of the lowest bud and make two opposing smooth-tapered toward the basal end of the scion. Be sure the basal end of the scion gradually tapers off along both sides.
Inserting the Scion. Insert the scion on the cleft. The cambium of each scion should contact the cambium of the stock
Securing the Graft. Pressure from the stock will hold the scion in place. Cover the graft with a cellophane to hold the scion in place
