Thanks for your reply.

What is the graft and how do I identify it ?

The just appears to me as branches and leaves (heaps and heaps of bushy
leaves)

A graft is where they put the top of one plant onto the roots of another. You will usually see a
distinct line and slightly different trunk colour below and above the graft. Sometimes you will see
a difference in trunk diameter.

They do it to speed up growth in some cases and to allow the healthy growth of what would otherwise
be a weak plant.
