From experience I have found that they do back bud under certain circumstances. I don't believe they bud back on very old wood at all. On new young healthy growth they do bud back. There are some techniques in achieving good bud back. I guess my best piece of advice is to keep pinching out new growth at the tips so that inner buds are given every chance to form and survive.

I'm sure others will chime in with some more help.
