Grafting is a common practice in agriculture. A small slip or cutting from one tree is inserted into a small cut in another related tree and takes hold and becomes just another branch on the tree. The same tree can end up growing two kinds of [related] fruit at once. The Bible refers to Israel as the good olive tree, and Christians as the wild olive that's been grafted in. It warns Christians to remain in the goodness of God, or as easily as they were grafted into the tree, they can be pruned off. See Romans 11:13 and following. Interestingly, in modern Hebrew, Christians are called Netzarim or Nazarenes. Coincidentally, Netzarim also means branches. In a very quirky, probably unwitting development of history, Christianity can be considered as a "branch" of Judaism... at least etymologically if not theologically.
