Default Mandarin tree

gday, ive got a small Mandarin tree in a pot (a seedless Silverhill
clone/graft), its only maybe a year old and ive just noticed it has started
to get quite a few small round flower balls which will open up soon, i guess
it knows spring is here. Are mandarin trees self pollenating? and in that
case can I collect their pollen and brush it on the stigmas to manually
pollenate the flowers to get more fruit?
