Not sure what you meant in terms of measurements. If you can clarify, we'll have a better idea of exactly how much larger. Also, letting us know how large your rootstock plants currently are will help as well.

From what I understand, as long as your rootstock are large enough to graft, all you need to do is find a spot on the scion where the stem size matches that of the rootstock to make the graft--doesn't seem to matter too much how high up on the scion you need to make the cut.
