My apologies, I was trying to be too clever.
I am English, and my English is also not too good.
Yes I had a lot of failures this year, in whip and tongue grafting almonds, and I want to T bud this June.
But in checking the buds of the almonds they all have 2 very small leaves that are each about 4mm long.
