I was fortunate to know Fletcher Granberry at DeRidder louisiana before he died in the early 70s. He is the person tha told me about blind buds, plus a lot other information about growing citrus. I have tried to pass this along. A long time ago I asked Dr. Calvin Lyons why blinds buds were not mentioned. His reply was that blind buds was common knowledge. My thought are not until some one telly you.
