Matt,
If I read your PDF correctly (great info by the way , thanks !! ) then what was demonstrated is "mound layering". I dunno, we call it "marcotteren" regardless of where you do it...
Carl,
Bart told us that these maples are grafted because they have a weak root system of their own. They are grafted on a "normal" japanese maple to take advantage of the strong roots of that species. If you would layer above the graft you would get roots of the top plant which are weak and slow growing. You normally don't layer to get rid of a ugly graft. But of course you could still try too see what happens. I'd be interested in the results !
regards, René
