    My lemon tree is blooming profusly. Do I need to polinate it or what. I really don't know anything much about this.

    Pollination is not necessary but may help to increase fruit set. A small artist's brush can be used to dust the blooms if you choose to hand pollinate. Expect many of the blooms and resulting fruits to be shed as only 1-2% of total flower buds will set fruit that reaches maturity.
