Pete,

My suggestion is wait until active growth has begun and the bark is in
the slip. I would use a splice, whip and tongue or machine graft. Wrap
it tight and cover it with Parafilm. I would also place foil on the
south leaving it open to the north to shad it from the sun to keep it
cool. It works I've grafted several plums.
