Myer lemon flowering after I brought it indoors (lemmy.world)

My potted myer lemon tree started flowering a few weeks after I brought it indoors for the winter. Is it OK to let it flower? Should I try pollinating the flowers to get more lemons?

I've never seen a jade plant flower either! So cool! I'll have to do a search so I can see what they look like.

Tricking the tree makes sense. I didn't bring it in until the temp was about to dip below freezing, so it makes sense that it thinks it got through winter (albeit an extremely short one).

Beautiful! We have one but it's not mature enough yet.
