Grafting isn't hard, but unless you use a tree type species, the stock will overwhelm the scion with suckers.  Also, the bushes renew themselves with those suckers.  Own rooted usually does better for that reason.  When I tried grafts, the graft had to be pruned hard to keep it putting out productive new growth, and sucker patrol was vital.

I have recently received a shipment of Amelanchier Canadensis and they are great. Most of the plants are very well rooted and are about 3 feet tall. Is there any advantage to grafting some of these to named varieties or to other Amelanchiers. Would this give me a longer harvest season, are some significantly better and do they graft well.
