Q&A for How to Pollinate a Lemon Tree

Citrus fruits will naturally hybridize when grown close together. Plant them at least 20-30 feet apart to prevent the two species from doing so.

While it normally takes between 3-5 years for a tree to bear fruit, this figure is only accurate for a healthy tree. Also keep in mind that although fruit may be present, give a few months for the fruit to mature completely before picking a crop.

Yes, they are self-pollinating, but if you grow a few together, you will be blessed with much more fruit from the cross-pollination.

A tree that is not bearing flowers is not ready to produce. It cannot be pollinated without flowers.
