Do Calamondin orange trees need cross-pollination?
No, Calamondin orange trees are self-pollinating. You only need to grow one bush to get a full harvest of fruit. When grown outdoors, bees and wind handle the pollination. However, if you are growing your calamansi tree strictly indoors, you should gently shake the branches or use a small paintbrush to transfer pollen from flower to flower to ensure successful fruit set.
