Inarch Graft
Inarching, like bridge grafting, is used to bypass or support a
damaged or weakened area of a plant stem. Unlike bridge grafting, the
scion can be an existing shoot, sucker, or watersprout that is already
growing below and extending above the injury. The scion may also be a
shoot of the same species as the injured plant growing on its own root
system next to the main trunk of the damaged tree. With the inarching
technique, the tip of the scion is grafted in above the injury using
the same method as for bark or bridge grafting.
