Meyer Lemon tree

in Talkback
Hi All
Last weekend I bought a ~3ft meyer lemon tree (kinda impulse buy). Garden centre had reduced all their citrus tree by 50%.
It is next to my south facing patio doors for the winter with the intention of putting it outside for the summer.
It has some good size fruit and a few flower buds.
I have pruned off a couple of crossed or damaged branches and I have a new pot for it.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of trees? Will I need to hand pollinate the flowers or could they set fruit on their own? The leaves are a bit dusty/limecale-y. Given it a shower and still seems dusty.
Thanks.
