Grafting my potted fruit trees

It's been a year since I learned how to graft at Merritt college. Grafting is very easy, anyone can do it, even you!! I grafted Golden delicious & Moraga antique scions onto one (1) rootstock. This week I visited some fellow gardeners and they allowed me to cut scions from their fruit trees. Thursday I grafted the scions, and if scions attach properly I will have Cripps pink & Pink pearl Apple on one tree, Black mission & Brown turkey Fig on one tree and Hachiya & Fire Crystal Persimmon. Since my space is limited,  grafting allows me to add more varieties of fruits to my container garden.
