I am not sure what a "buttonwood Juniper" is. I know what a Florida
Buttonwood is and there are many species of Juniper I think the base of a
Phoenix Graft must a hard, rot resistant wood. If a softer wood were used it
would rot away leaving the graft to stand on its own, although I know of one
planting being done with just that in mind.
