Yes, they do when properly encouraged. My 3-year old pre bonsai also has a few
buds here & there. I don't remember if it was you, but somebody told me not to
cut the branches back until the new bud was just about completely grown.

I don't think that was me, that might be a good idea. I suspect that the buds are
a bit on the weak side. The new buds I have are very small compared to the candles
on the tips. On the branches that have new buds I'll probably pinch the candles a
bit more than usual.
