My Lemon Tree

[Greenthumb18]

Here's pictures of my lemon tree that i have indoors. Ever since i brought it inside for the winter, it has developed blooms after blooms, i hope i get a few lemons to start forming.
The white lemon flowers smell so heavenly they have such an amazing fragrance. I wish you guys had smell-avision .

Enjoy!

Just wondering. Do you pollinate it to try to get the lemons started, or is pollination required on lemons?

Thats really nice. I want a lemon tree this year. Last year I bought a kumquat and a satsuma that I will probably keep in pots for a few more years. I didn't do to much for them this winter but cover them with a sheet on the really cold nights.

Thats what i'm trying to figure out, I'm not sure if the lemons pollinate themselves or i have to do it. But for now i'm just pollinating them just in case.
Hopefully i'll get tiny lemons forming soon......

Here's some info:

"POLLINATION: When you grow plants indoors, bees and insects cant pollinate them. So you need to use a paintbrush or cotton swab to rub pollen within the flower. Sometimes they will produce fruit without doing this, but it's a good idea to increase your chances!"
