Double grafting

Double grafting is a technique practiced in India for mango grafting. It is used when scionwood is too thick for rootstock. It allows more speedy growth by using two rootstocks at once.
I got some spindly rootstock this year and had some fat persimmon wood and wanted to try this with persimmons.

Here is the rootstock and scionwood next to each other.
