A few years ago I wanted to save a dying Australian hybrid. I thought of inarching, but didn't have a tall enough or thick enough rootstock. So I took the best I had, and simply placed the rootstock pot inside the other larger pot and joined the plants together above the dying stem. Much to my surprise the hybrid styarted producing shoots all around the graft. I left it like this for some time, but eventually cut away the rotting old trunk and original top - leaving the new rootstock and a 'lump' with new shoots. You will understand from the photos:
Complete plant now:
One side in close-up. The green bit is the inarching rootstock. The original stem is on the left:
Other side close-up. All these are new shoots from the remaining 2" (5cms) of old trunk:
It's not too beautiful, and a bit top-heavy, but it lives!
