Someone gave me twigs of a named ginkgo cultivar. Rather than trusting that I could root them as cuttings, I made a cleft graft at the top of an older, not-very-special ginkgo in a nursery can. Smooth healing or hiding the scar was not an issue; I just wanted the small branches to survive so I would have propagating material in the future. I sealed the job with a big gobbet of grafting wax. One scion took, the other didn't. I think alignment of the cambium was the difference. With better technique, I think you could rate grafting of ginkgo as Easy and expect a high percentage of success.
