Jim,
On any graft, I would let it grow for a season at least. If you try to keep
the graft restrained you run the risk of not having it take. You can always
keep the branch restrained later.

After I cut the branch part going into the drilled hole (after the graft
has taken), is it best to leave the newly grafted branch grow strongly,
unpruned, or would that put too much energy demand on the newly grafted
area, and I should keep the growth in check?

Thanks,

Jim
