tree root stock problems

10 years ago

I have about 30 0r so european pears all grafted on to pyrus calleryana as a rootstock. They are anywhere from 3 to 6 years old. I just got looking a the base of the trunks and on just about everyone the scion trunk of the tree is larger than rootstock trunk of the tree by anywhere from 1/4" -1" in diameter. I'm thinking is this a problem? or going to be one? and If so How can I correct it? Mound dirt around the trunk to cover up the graft and let the scion root?
