Grafting an Illinois Everbearing Mulberry Using a Simple Graft (Cleft Graft) with Update!

This is the first type of graft I attempted when I started grafting trees.

thanks for showing the update, ive had hard times with mulberry before, and I believe its been not tying down the graft.

What kind of film is that? I have a medical grade film for insulin pump sites. Could that be used?

[@ryanscottlove]

I use Parafilm M. It's used in laboratories to seal all sorts of things. It's convenient because it sticks to itself when stretched and breaks away easily as the tree grows.
I've seen others use thin plastic strips and then cut it away after several weeks.
