Planting grafted London Plane

[Redxel]

Hi,

 

I have some trees to get planted, these amongst them.

 

I don't think the typical grafted fruit tree approach to planting is going to work here. If I was to leave the union several inches above the soil level I'd worry that when the trees mature into something sizeable it will  be a weak point. Despite the supposed issues of bacteria/rot at the union if under the soil, personally I want to plant them with the graft union practically level to the ground or slightly under... Am I correct?

 

Thanks

Those aren't grafted, they're hardwood cuttings.

Plant to the previous soil level.
