That link's informative but way too complex. If I can't give a set of

folk to graft with at least some success, then it won't fly. I don't
have the grafting skill to condense those pages into a quick basic guide.

Not every problem has a simple answer.

Telling people how to graft in ten minutes is possible, especially if
you do a "show and tell". Explaining the complex rules for successfully
getting 40 different fruits on one tree will take a bit longer, as it's
a much more complex subject.



Apparently someone managed 250 apple varieties on a single trunk.
