Default Re: Fruit Trees in TV?

From the lemon tree that the previous owners told us when we first looked at the house in October was not bearing fruit this year for the first time (and we just took his word for it and didn't go looking), when we returned after being away for the month of January we discovered about a dozen or more beautiful lemons on the tree! Apparently they were green and hidden in the foliage in October. Our orange tree did about the same. In March we noticed both trees filled with flowers, so notwithstanding what we lose to birds, we hope for yet another good crop and are wondering if these trees are ever-bearing if we're getting two crops so close together.

We're in Village of Belvedere south of CR-466, and we have been told for sure (1) no fruit trees in front of the house and (2) no veggie garden ANYWHERE other than what can be grown in pots. I'm not sure if planting fruit trees requires approval from the Architectural Review Committee....
