Answer 1

Usually, they fruit at around 4 to 8 years of age, from seed. There is the rare occasion that a seed grown tree will not produce blooms or fruit, however.

The first few things to do will be to test soil nutrients, pH, and make sure that the soil is not compacted. Once you know that these things are within acceptable limits, then you can begin to diagnose why it is not flowering or fruiting properly.
