    I must be completely dense because I just don't get the grafting process. Here's my situation. My Mom has a bloodgood that is probably 15-20 years old. I would like to try my hand and grafting and see if I can't get a tree out of it!
    Here's my issue . . . can I use her tree for the scion and root stock? And what happens to her tree after I graft? How do I then get my tree off of her tree?
    I am totally missing the point!!!
    Can I take a scion from a lace leaf and graft onto the bloodgood?
    Please don't laugh but I am completely daft!
