Whenever anyone asks me a similar question about their trees, I
recommend either or both of two procedures: Do you fertilize your tree?
Fertilized trees may not bear fruit until their available nitrogen is
reduced to that which comes with rain. If excess nitrogen is not the
problem, use a spade to cut a slit in the ground all the way around the
drip-line - I don't know why this works but folks have had positive results
by doing it.
