you may need another tree nearby for it to bear fruit


shite. Cross polinating? I don't have room for another tree. I have 2 blueberry bushes. Maybe if i up root them and replant in another area, I can plant another.

My backyard isn't very big. Right now i have a blood orange, turkey fig, 2 blueberry bushes, and some other flowering tree.

You don't need another tree for it to bear fruit. It will do so next year. Fertilize it after the last frost.

during the first year-or-so that it is in the ground most if not all of its available energy is going towards root production and getting established. once it is established it will bear fruit.
i have one and 5 out of the past 7 years have gotten increasing amounts of produce. after 2-3 years straight of production be prepared for the tree to "take a year off" to reestablish itself and catch its breath.
