Hello Patrick,
Welcome to Permies! I think your idea for grafting a male specimen atop a female, therefore having the fruit only on the lower portion of the tree, is an interesting idea. I have never tried this or seen it done before, but give it a try. One thing about permacultural methods is that you just have to experiment and see what works where. Please keep us posted on your project. You may be onto the next best thing here. Good luck!
(No apologies necessary for your post. You did very well explaining your idea. There are many people here who speak different languages. And you are, in no way, the only Permie here with dyslexia. We all have a common interest and goal. That's the same universal "language" everywhere 😉.)
