I think grafting would imply attaching an already-existing structure,
as in genetic programming. This is just about expanding the allowable
area into which the tree grows.
Maybe the bonsai folks have a term for this...

By neither.
Allow me to suggest a third alternative, one which I believe to be
best,
"progressive grafting".
Just as a gardener "prunes a tree", so the horticultural metaphor
is continued,
broadened, by describing the _addition_of_a_branch_ to a tree as
"grafting".
See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting> for the ordinary-
English meaning.
