In an earlier paper 3, we studied cycles in graphs that intersect all edge‐cuts of prescribed sizes. Passing to a more general setting, we examine the existence of T ‐joins in grafts that intersect all edge‐cuts whose size is in a given set A ⊆{1,2,3}. In particular, we characterize all the contraction‐minimal grafts admitting no T ‐joins that intersect all edge‐cuts of size 1 and 2. We also show that every 3‐edge‐connected graft admits a T ‐join intersecting all 3‐edge‐cuts. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 56: 64–71, 2007
