Jim,
   the problem is that the trees are seedlings, with prolonged juvenility. 
If you can find someone with bearing trees, you should bud them.  They do 
something interesting when they bud citrus, don't know if you can manage it 
in pots but think about it.  You put on a bud down low, cut the tree half 
off above the bud, and lay the cut part over.  It will continue to 
photosynthesize and feed the bud the first summer.  You'll get rapid growth 
and much quicker and more abundant fruit on a budded tree.  I've seen 
calamondins the size of yours in pots loaded with fruit.  But they were 
either budded or cutting grown from "old budlines", not seedlings.     Donna
