It is only worthwhile on a tree with EXCEPTIONAL promise, and if you have to graft a large number of branches, how do you know the tree has promise? Sometimes if you nick the bark all the way through the cambium layer -- using a very sharp knife -- that will stimulate buds developing just over the nick. It sounds to me, however, that this tree needs so much work that you'd be much better off planting it in the ground and letting it go wild for a few years.
