Let me givve you an idea. Try grafting a prunus subhirtella "Higan" to prunus yedoensis "Yoshino" root stock. My understanding is that this produces a nice dwarf palnt with weeping habit that is sometimes used as a shrub. In cultivation I belive it is known as prunu "Hally Jolivette".

I have seen one of these and it is delightful with small leaves and blossoms, lending itself nicely to bonsai.

I have not been able to find one in commercial production for some reason, even though I have searched diligently and asked on this forum. So I am considering attempting this graft myself.
