My potted myer lemon tree started flowering a few weeks after I brought it indoors for the winter. Is it OK to let it flower? Should I try pollinating the flowers to get more lemons?

This is kind of what I was wondering. Like would letting it flower and/or fruit stress it out?
Flowers don’t take as much energy as fruit. You could probably just remove them as they fade, and pinch off any fruit that starts to form, or most of them anyway.
Or maybe it will be okay to fruit if you give it fertilizer.
Y’know, you should probably check with a local plant expert, I’m just a random old lady on Lemmy in a 10b climate zone.
