My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Inosculation - similar to grafting.

12 years ago

I stumbled quite by accident upon Inosculation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. "Inosculation is a natural phenomenon in which trunks, branches or roots of two trees grow together. It is biologically very similar to grafting." I think people may use this for braiding trees like ficus.

Sporadically we see questions where this might be related. This is just an FYI link.
