    Solution

    Top-working is the name for grafting established trees to another variety. The existing tree, the "stock", is cut back, leaving just one or two limbs (nurse limbs) to supply the tree with energy. Short sticks of 1-year-old wood of the new variety (the scions) are inserted (grafted) into the cut surface.
