Inarching is actually not very difficult to preform. From the small trees that are being used as the inarch, all branches are removed and the top is cut off with a sloping cut about two inches in length. Then in the side of the larger tree that is being saved, at the proper distance above the ground an inverted T incision is made, and the corners formed by the intersecting cuts are turned back as in shield budding. The prepared end of the small inarch trees are inserted into the cut, and firmly tied in place. If it is difficult to tie, it may be nailed with a slim finishing nail, driven in with a punch to prevent bruising. In most cases the punch method is preferable. All the incisions are then carefully covered with wax. The bandage should not be disturbed until union has taken place and the parts have firmly knitted. - Millet (1,103-)
