How to Graft Honey Locust

I’m reading a book called Tree Crops by J. Russel Smith and it talks about grafting honey locust trees to produce more honey locust pods. Does anyone know how this would work? What’s the point of grafting and why would that produce a higher yielding tree?

i like that book.

you’d need scion wood from an improved variety for it to really help. maybe finding the most productive local tree and grafting its material around, if you’ve got a number of the right size honey locust trees to graft onto, could up your production.

generally, one doesn’t ‘just graft’, grafting is done to add (or increase) a specific variety, a specific genetic individual.
