Was he grafting or was he "air layering" , a means to make a new plant
from one you already have . I haven't done that , but have had mixed
success starting plants with cuttings dipped in rooting hormone powder .
I'd like to try grafting some better fruiting canes to our native
muscadine root stock , that **** is incredibly hardy .

Maybe it _was_ "air layering". I was just knee=high

He peeled some bark back with a pocket knife and was able to grow
roots, them cut it off for a new plant.
