The gnats were probably fungus gnats. From what I've read, they do no harm, and most likely means you are watering too often. I have one indoor tree that has them constantly because the soil is too organic and it takes it 4-5 days to dry out. The tree grows profusely though, and I've never seen them harm it. I just put a fly trap next to the tree and it keeps the numbers really cut down to maybe 2 or 3 around my tree.
