Depending on the kind of fruit, I might try a few different styles of grafting, like budding, to compensate for older or unusual scion.
The key is to try lots of different methods. Do it 'by the book' and do it differently. That way you can discover what works well for your conditions.
Thank you for the advice. I wish that I had collected older (larger) scions this spring. The apple and pear trees aren't out in leaf yet and I would usually assume that it's too late to collect more scions, but maybe I'll even collect some now just to see what happens.
