Growing Citrus
 

Do you have to plant more than one tree to ensure pollination? Or does that
have nothing to do with it? I really want a lemon tree but don't know if I
need to buy two....

Most all citrus are self-pollinating. The usual do not need more than 1.

Not only are citrus self-pollinating, but they are also apomictic.
This means some of the flowers will set fruit without being
pollinated at all.
