do the lemon trees self pollenate?

I use a Q-tip to pollinate the flowers when the plant is inside. If it is outside, bees will do it for you.

Apparently so. I only have one. It bloomed twice before it finally fruited.

Fusky, I am not sure because I do not have pollen issues, but we I have 8 people living in an RV and this machine keeps the air fresh and sweet, never musty and stale, so it must pull a lot out of the air. I clean it once a week and there is a lot of dust and stuff on the filter. I am very happy with it.

The seeds can fall into juice if you just ream the lemon openhanded. If you hold it over a strainer placed over a bowl you should not have to worry with the seeds. Hope this helps. :)

Well plants are plants. As long as the area where they are grown is organic I am fine with it.I personally have a hive for honey, but I don't collect the pollen, might someday try. This pollen is nice. It is packed with every nutrient your body needs.

Happend with some non moss plants of mine. I got a Venus flytrap and it ate them up!

Agree completely with sedonaman. I'm allergic to them and I just leave them bee. Without them I'd have no flowers therefore no hummingbirds not to mention fruits and veggies in the garden. Bee's are endangered in many area's of our country right now. A sad thing.

yes, the oval leaves are Meyer lemon and the trident type are from the root stock and can be removed. I removed mine and rooted them for future grafting to make more improved Meyer lemons. Glen Guthrie, owner of five Meyer lemon trees.

It juices lemons and larger limes very well. I have not had any problems with seeds getting through the holes. I am happy with the purchase.

yes I went and bought a big pot, the proper soil and some citrus fertilizer! I have 6 huge lemons just about ready to pick on my tree - can't wait to try them!

I have picked peaches, apples and pears. The tines are close enough to pick lemons. I've never seen a lemon on a tree. are the hard to get off?

I bought mine from Hirts it was beautiful,but had splotches on the undersides of the leaves. Over winter lost most of its leaves but is growing them back slowly.Also it has a few flowers and has about 6 lemons on almost bare stems.I just gave it fertilizer,I really hope it becomes lush with leaves again it was a beauty.

No clogging at all with pine needles, which was my concern. Tree pollen is different, and varied. I think it is work a shot to try a few feet for a test.

Yes, we have had them in place now for a couple of years on our citrus trees.and only to top sprinkler type watering with no problems. We get a bumper crop each year.

Yes, we bought ours as a Christmas gift in December and still have it in the same pot. Its doing well, and we'll need to transplant it into a larger pot soon. Currently we have 3 lemons growing on the tree. It's very happy being outside now that the temp is warmer.

To Sallybee... it's a bit late but I wanted to comment on your answer... I would guess that the reason some of your plants did not bear "fruit" is that they were not pollinated. Put a bee hive near your garden and you will see a LOT more yield.

Passion fruit plants' pollination is done by bees and other flying insects. In areas where no bees or flying insects, people can help pollinating them by gently touching the pollen from the male stems to the female stems (Look at the flower: the three big female stems are located at the center of the flower and the multiple smaller male stems with tons of pollen are located on the outside circle of the flower). The human pollination gives the best results.

Sorry cannot answer for sure. Clustered citrus is a little more difficult than individual ones. But not sure about papaya.
