1. A method of producing a grafted perennial monocot plant, comprising:
(a) providing a rootstock source comprising mesocotyl and radicle tissue of a first perennial monocot plant;
(b) providing a scion source comprising mesocotyl and plumule tissue of a second, different perennial monocot plant;
(c) placing said rootstock source in contact with said scion source such that said rootstock and scion sources are fused;
(d) allowing fusion of rootstock and scion sources such that functional vascular connections form between the rootstock and scion sources; and
(e) generating a grafted perennial monocot plant from said fused rootstock and scion sources.
