Has anyone successfully performed an approach graft on a Hibiscus of any
variety?


I have mentioned this before and I don't remember the outcome, but
Hibiscus is not a woody plant in the sense of most trees and shrubs we work with
in Bonsai. Maybe one of the more knowledgeable members out there can comment.
Hibiscus does have a bark with a green layer underneath, but then the woody
portion seems different and Hibiscus has a soft "pith" in the middle of the
stem.
I am trying to say that I have not tried approach graft on Hibiscus
and I know some are grafted, but I think it must be different from a "woody"
plant.
