I'm a persistant if not expert grafter.Reasonable success

with pecan,pawpaws,persimmons etc.There are many

native crabapples on my property, According to a book

they are probably Iowa crabs.Trying to graft apples

to  has never been a priority but over the years I have

only one success,It's 15+years with above the graft twice

the diameter as the rootstock and leaning on its side.It's

not productive but in a bad site.I've not had success trying

to graft pears to hawthorne also.Any one had success?
