When can I expect my Lime Tree to bloom

Question

I grew a lime tree from a pip. It has flourished well and is 6 years old and has been kept in a container in the Conservatory during the winter and in the garden in the summer. My question is: when can I expect it to bloom and subsequently bear fruit?

You may want to add some more phosphorus to the soil, such as bone meal, which will help promote blooming. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/phosphorus-plant-growth.htm
