Seeded vs Grafted

I am new to JMs so forgive my ignorance.

I live in the Dallas area and purchased a nice (5 year) Crimson Queen from a local nursery. I have also purchased 2 grafted (Crimson Queen and Red Dragon) from Ebay.

I have looked at several forums here, and I would appreciate any feedback on how the grafted trees grow vs the seed grown. My question is about the color of the main tree trunk. Each of the grafted trees have a green trunk and the grafted part has dark red. When they grow larger, does the main trunk change color, or does the graft dominate the bark color for new growth only? Do I need to worry about what species the main graft was to consider how large they will grow?

They will still have a place in my garden.

Thanks.
