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.

Ok. Well he's definitely rooting down. Yesterday i removed the top soil around the tree some more and put down some feed and mulch. The grass was creeping onto the tree.

Solid post. You dont need two and it will come, just wait. Over health of the tree is better for not making fruit this year. Chances are if you planted it in the spring, the shock to the tree from the transplanting made it drop its flowers/fruit.
