just thought i would give an update. I have done several things. one thing is that i did remove that stock branch that was just directly underneath one of the grafts. I also sprayed the tree with a micro-nutrient foliage spray. and lastly i did something else that i had read online, i lightly sliced into the bark of the tree about 1/2 inch above each graft point (something to do with altering the flow of its chemicals so that the buds get the right ones they need to break dormancy.). and a couple of weeks later, i am seeing some action on 3 of the 4 dormant grafts, including that one that started putting out a couple of leaves and then stopped. no change yet for the stone fruit tree, maybe i will have some luck later on in the year
