The cocktail tree under your birdcage will need bees to pollinate the blossoms in order for fruit to form. There is a possibility it is self pollinating but to be sure, set it outside.

My Myers Lemon, Pink Lemon, and Key Lime all did great this year. Mrs. Trap makes an excellent low fat, no sugar added Key Lime Cheesecake.
