Grafting directions for Cornelian Cherry

Hi all. I’m looking to try my hand for the first time in grafting.
I have these Cornelian Cherry trees (seedlings I think).

These are scions from the Yellow and Red Star cornelian cherries.

Can I even graft these? If yes, where should I start? What is the best technique I need to research and watch videos on? Do I cut off the top of the trees before grafting? I prefer for the trees to stay alive if the graft dies because these scions have been in the fridge for 2-3 months now (moisture preserved though) so I am not too confident in them.

Could I graft the scion on the rootstock tree with this v groove style and are these cut lines I have indicated in red at appropriate places?

Also, if it matters, I prefer to keep the final tree short, below 8 ft when it is mature.

Appreciate any direction you all can give me.

I’ve tried many cornelian cherry grafts and only been successful twice. Both were veneer grafts like the link @Tana shared above. My cleft, whip and tongue and bud grafts were all unsuccessful. I find them much more challenging to graft than pears, apples, persimmons, pawpaws and jujubes.

I would be sure to keep a seedling branch. They are absolutely not self-fertile. I did a dozen grafts over a couple years only got one to take.

One year old wood (on the right) is fine, older wood (on the left) is not so. Chip budding is the way to do it.

Excellent demonstration for the small size scion. I think it will work for most of trees, not just for cherry trees.

i second the chip budding suggestion.

Chip budding works wel on cornus.

And if the graft fails your rootstock will just continue to grow.
