Can you put a bud into a lemon tree to make new fruit?

Yes, you can propagate a lemon tree by using a method called budding, where a bud from a healthy lemon tree is grafted onto the rootstock of another citrus tree. This technique allows the new tree to grow fruit similar to the original. However, it's important to ensure that both the bud and rootstock are compatible for successful grafting. Proper care and conditions are essential for the graft to take and produce new fruit.
