Here in S Texas , I have Meyer lemon , lime , navel orange, Satsuma , pineapple orange , sweet kumquat . Will the bees take care of it ?
Some of my trees had loads of blooms but the bees aren't out and about yet . Wondering if They will put out fruit or forget about it for another year .
I planted a loquat in my sons yard and it bloomed but alas , no freeze but the cold killed all the blooms .Its about six or seven years old and haven't gotten any fruit from it yet .
It's been a cold winter here on the southern coast , with temps down into the 35 degree range several times .Some of the trees still have bloom buds just waiting for warmer weather and sunshine ( What's that )?

Scroll down several paragraphs and there is a statement 'most citrus don't need insect pollination' or words to that effect, and then a list of reasons why.

Thanks , Sally . That answered a lot of questions .Some do , some don't , number of seeds ,some helps , some doesn't , it just plain doesn't matter .I won't worry about it then .
Thanks again .

You're welcome!; I went back and read more, it wasn't as simple as I implied above so I'm glad you also read further.
