Pollination

Question

Do citrus trees require bees to pollinate the flowers? Can we use other insects like ladybugs?

Answer 1

Most citrus are self-fertile, but some need cross pollination.
This is generally done by Bees or other insects.
If your growing citrus indoors, you will need to help pollinate your flowers.
