Pollination time for Meyers Lemon Tree?

bchbound
12 years ago

I have had a dwarf Myers Lemon tree for about 3 years. It had a rough start but after spending last summer outdoors (I am on Long Island in NY) it is now thriving. Right now it has about 30 blosoms about ready to open. One already has opened. The tree is about 3 feet tall.

Do I need to assist in pollation with a brush since I do not have bees indoors to do that? Are some flowers male and others female or does each flower have both.

I am thinking I should lightly brush the flowers moving from one to the next.

Thanks in advance
