My citrus tree keeps dropping blooms and no fruit is forming. What am I doing wrong?
A. Although citrus trees are self-fertile, if theyre grown indoors year round, you may need to give the tree a little help with the pollination process. This can be done a couple of ways. The quickest and easiest is to give the tree a good shake when the flowers are open. You can also dab pollen from one flower to another using a cotton swab or small paintbrush. However, if your trees are outdoors, bees and butterflies usually do a great job of pollinating the tree.
