How likely would the success of grafted foliage be on a Mugo pine? I'm talking about taking scions from the tree and actually grafting them higher and closer up the tree.

I have never grafted Mugo pine, only black pine. For black pine it all depends on:
(1) Time of year
(2) Sharpness of cuts
(3) Perfect alignment of cambium layers
(4) Binding and treatment of graft afterwards
Best success rates I get on black pine are about 75%. There may be others who do better...
By the way - why would you want to graft HIGHER up a tree?

I guess what I should have said was to fill in an open spot where a branch should be. In any case on this particular tree it is higher up the tree.
