How long before I can expect this tree to bear fruit?

I bought this small tree several months ago and it has about 10 tiny pomegranates which are getting bigger by the day. I put my compost on it and it seems to be very healthy.

Mine actually came with little buds as a sapling, but the didn't develop due to the planting.... It tends to grow bigger each year, with bigger fruit.

It's not age that determines when it's ready to produce fruit, but the bulk of the cactus itself. Many growers say that the cacti must weight about 10lbs before you have any chance of it fruiting. The growth of the cactus varies by climate. I live in Connecticut, and unfortunately my cactus has to live indoors for half of the year to avoid frost damage. I've had it for almost 3 years and it still hasn't borne fruit. I'm hoping this summer will finally be fruitful, pun intended!

I'm in Louisiana and received mine in April of last year and I planted it outside in a container. It looked like it died over the winter but it has come back with a vengeance! Hooray! But... I still haven't gotten any fruit from it. Maybe this year hopefully.

I have had mine for three years I hope this year it will bear fruit. Mine is in a half oak barrel and is doing great.

They grow a couple feet a year. My previous tree reached 15 feet in 6 1/2 years. The plant I ordered here has grown about a foot in 5 months.

I have had my persimmon one year and a few months now. It has lots of leaves, hasn't really grown taller but has some more leaves than last year. I haven't gotten fruit yet. We live in a warmer part of downtown santa cruz. It is a lot warmer than SF. That's all I can tell you at this point!

About 8to10 feet tall.Be careful in June July August. Check for good root system. Every other day.Add nitrogen twice a year. The first year develop a good root system.don't cut the suckers they will feed the trunk.Next year you start shaping the tree. God Luck

Ours died. It looks okay when it comes out, but it takes a while to show. I honestly wouldn't ship a bonsai tree.

This tree was a gift for my daughter, who received it this December (2012). The tree arrived at around 2 1/2 feet tall and is now around 3 feet tall with small fruit on it, with no partner plant. Hope this answers your question ...sorry...I don 't have much of a green thumb myself!

So far that's what I am doing. I am in Boston so I know how the weather can be tricky. The tree is very small and won't bear fruit for awhile (couple years even) but it seems healthy and happy. (pictures can be deceiving) In the cold months keep it inside near a window with lots of light and warmth and keep it watered so it doesn't dry out. When it's warmer like now, I have mine on my enclosed front porch. Makes for almost a greenhouse when it's very warm, and I think it really loves that! I've noticed some new leaves growing already!! Good luck if you decide to go with it. I would say it's worth the try! So far that's what I am doing. I am in Boston so I know how the weather can be tricky.

That can be normal after the stress from travel. Usually after 4-6 weeks the tree will stabilize and look better. Go ahead and start fertilizing monthly. If you start to see lots of leaf drop, please contact us

Start indoors 3 weeks before last frost. Plant in a mound well amended with compost and lime when soil temp is above 70 deg. Keep well watered until fruit is full sized. Set fruit on pinestraw or such to avoid contact with ground. Fruit is ready when it produces a dull sound when thumped.

I bought from Hirt's - around 25", and they had fruit on. I read that Aberguina starts fruiting at 2 - 3 years. I think they are self-pollinating.

The chance of it producing fruit is probably less than 1% according to how it is doing since I bought it. So forget about eating the fruit.

I bought my tree November 2013 and the nursery said it was 3-4 years old. The tree has not put out any new leaves but it has bloomed three times and I have green lemons from the blooms. Lemons are slow growing trees, I say this based on previous lemon trees of younger age that grew about 3-6 inches a year. My tree is indoor and planted in a peck-sized container. I live in upper NY. My brother lives in CA and his outdoor trees are also slow growers.

Mine did not come with fruit on it. It depends on where the tree you get is in its growing cycle.
