Ensure the tree is receiving adequate sunlight. Check if it has reached maturity; flowering typically begins a few years after planting. Verify presence of a compatible pollinator nearby.
Lack of a compatible pollinator is the most common cause. Ensure adequate watering and feeding, especially during the growing season. Check for any signs of pests or diseases.
This can indicate overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture and adjust watering accordingly. Consider applying a balanced fertilizer or compost in spring.
