Question:

Had one bud that took but has not sprouted after about 8-10 months. Will it still sprout?

Comments

If the bud is still green it will. When selecting budwood, try to use swollen buds otherwise the buds may lay dormant in the rootstock for a matter of months before emerging.

Lemons are reputed to be the hardest to strike onto trifoliata rootstock, so you may have better luck with other varieties of citrus.
