Acer shirasawanum

What rootstock should be used when trying to graft an Acer shirasawanum (I hope I got the spelling right)?

Has someone got experience with these?

Acer palmatum.

These are compatible with palmatum:
palmatum to palmatum
palmatum to:
cicinatum
shirasawanum
japonicum
sieboldianum
pseudosieboldianum

and likewise these should all be intercompatible as understock - scion host. Acer palmatum being the common seedling to purchase, others likely to be grown from seed (for use as understock).

Also, I've even heard reports of 20 year grafts of Acer triflorum to palmatum and doing very well. Plus a few other unlikely candidates that I can't remember anymore off the top of my head.
