 Chapter 5: Tree Fruits & Nuts and Exotic Tree Fruits & Nuts
The outstanding characteristics of citrus flowers are the pleasant fragrance, the pleasing contrast between the whitish (to pink or purple in lemons) petals and the dark-green background of the leaves, and the attractiveness of the flowers to bees.
The honey bee is unquestionably the primary pollinating agent of citrus; wind is not a major factor.
Beekeepers place their bees near citrus groves for the honey they obtain; however, these colonies may not be placed strategically or in aufficient numbers for most effective pollination of all areas of a particular grove.

 Citrus - definition of Citrus in Encyclopedia
Citrus is a common term and genus of flowering plant in the Family Rutaceae, originating in tropical and subtropical Asia.

Some modern hobbyists still grow dwarf citrus in containers or greenhouses in areas where it is too cold to grow it outdoors.
