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.... |

Growing Citrus
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. -- David E.
