someone's been lashing up damaged old trunks without any branches left and grafting shoots onto the ends with duct tape
and it's working??
look how many leaves have filled in and how green and robust the new growth looks??

it's kind of funny how you can just hand a tree a new arm and tape it on and the tree will go "huh. guess this is mine now? neat"
yeah and like, i know this is how a lot of tree fruit farming is done - grafting donors from plants to favourable rootstock to make clones
it's just wild to see like, weird guerrilla grafting at the local greenspace
i think so much about how fruit trees are grown like this...
