Yeh, you are certainly right there. I grafted pear scions onto 3 year seedling
hawthorns, and they bloomed the next year. I picked off all the fruit when it was still quite small, did not want to put too much strain on the fresh grafts.
Amen to your comment on wisteria, mine covers half the house - narry a hint
of flower. It grows well enough, I suspect it's roots have found the soakaway from the septic tank !
re Mulberry cuttings, the books say it's quite easy, but not for me. My old Mum managed fine, so I must have done something wrong, unless they like Essex better than Norfolk.
