Tree grows but does not produce fruit

I started another tree from seed of the 15 year old one I have and where the blossoms normally come I have thorns growing. I use the fruit to make marmalade

Depending on the age of this tree, it will not produce fruit for several years. When it is young it will have thorns to protect it to maturity. In 3 to 6 years, you can expect to see your first flowers and fruit.
