Default [IBC] another threading question

Yes. Look at trees in nature where one branch has eventually grown close
to another. If in a position where there is little movement through
wind-rock they eventually thicken until one becomes naturally grafted to
another. This is with two old and thick bark layers.

In extremis you could drill a half inch hole and put a quarter inch
shoot through. It's far from ideal and would look pretty odd for a good
while, but would eventually work.

if you thread a branch through a hole that is slightly larger than the
diameter of the branch..and there is no "tight" fit will the graft

still
eventually take?
