Growing so very well. Do you get them pollinating just from the 12V fans? Incredible, that it works so well, thought insects would have been needed, read the description. Also cross pollination and who knows, a new kind of fruit? That would be nuts. Also, what about the tobacco you are growing, is it going to be ready by fall, a single season plant (I've never grown tobacco ever)? A lot of spring growth, so nice! Cheers 👍💪✌
Their own flower pollen will drop into itself but mixing means pollen transfer which may produce better fruit or worse. The fan may help cross pollination of types. I don't think the trees will fit next summer. :) PS the tabac is growing well inside traded 3 for a weeks worth of lattes at cafe LOL! Single season up to 5-6 feet at peak here.
Oh I have a 6" hole at front for bees and bugs and ants roaming looking for honey dew on leaves but I have no scale or aphids so the ants track pollen around.
Hi, I would recommend you line a hole 4'x4" or so with thick styro insulation 4 feet deep. Our frost line it 18" or so so in winter heavy mulch around trunk and frost bag it in freezes. Some mandarins likr yours are fine with a 2-4" plus trunk otherwise build a poly cover and use Christmas bulbs for heat. Have not seen an inground tasty citrus here yet in 10 years.

I’m in Vancouver as well, attempting to grow a satsuma in ground outside. You think it’s possible?
