Most of our gardening is not natural as we're interfering with nature by planting non-native species. I'd like to know what it is specifically about grafting that he finds objectionable. We find a seedling that produces a superior quality fruit and, if we want to repeat the results, we graft. Some grafting occurs in nature on it's own, though it's not very commonly witnessed.
I have some photos of some of my chestnut grafting at
Correia Chestnut Farm - American Grown Fresh Chestnuts From Our Family Farm to You; large hand-harvested Colossal chestnuts, recipes, instructions for roasting chestnuts, chestnut roasters, chestnut knives but maybe I'll do a video ones of these days and try to avoid cutting myself. It doesn't happen very often but seems more likely if it's being recorded for others!
