If you would humor me - what is the advantage of grafting over layering? I mean with layering you get the maple growing from a pure JP maple source - so wouldn't that be preferred?

I loved the link provided - it was great! Just got me to wondering why you would do it as pictured, having 2 main branches coming off the root and being 2 types of tree. Could be a interesting affect, and I'm fairly tired right now, so I'm probably missing the 'cut off the old branch later' aspect or something, but I thought I would inquire.
