MTU on trunk links

Can someone please explain to me how I can have an MTU of 9214 on the trunk ports on the enterprise switch, but all the host ports and the hosts themselves are 1500MTU.

Would all packets be sent across the trunk link in 1500 bits? I'm just curious why the previous network administrator made his trunk ports 9214 between switches, but all the hosts are 1500. Does the jumbo frames between the switches actually help performance?
