Moro Blood Orange Tree

I planted a Moro Blood Orange in the spring. I bought it from the nursery and it was about 3' tall. It is currently almost 4' tall.
It doesn't look big enough to bear any fruit, but how long before i can expect to see 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.

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.

It took mine 6 or 7 years before it produced fruit. In fact I forgot what type of tree it was until last year when I saw fruit for the first time.
