[nafex] Budding and Grafting Paw Paws

I have had very few failures when bark-grafting or chip budding paw paws.  I always try to align the foreign buds in line and between two buds on the rootstock.   I  bark graft onto a limb
 
if it is large enough to receive a scion.   Does everyone else use this procedure or do you random place buds on any smooth part of the rootstock?    I have in ground small trees for rootstock
 
that will try next spring  with buds misaligned to see it makes any difference.
 
I use the same technique when budding and grafting chestnuts and shown in '85th Annual Report' of Northern Nut Growers Association  dated Aug 1994 with excellent results.
