I have it in full sun (as per the care tag) and I'm feeding it Miracid
for azaleas every couple of weeks or after every big rain. I'm
keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Lots of new growth but nothing
resembling flower buds.

Is it merely too early for citrus to blossom here, or must the tree
reach some minimum size, or does citrus come in "boy" and "girl"
varieties and I've maybe got a male?

Ideas?

The normal time to bloom would be late fall early winter.

Probably grown from a cutting so you should not have to be concerned about
being old enough to bloom.

Mine bloomed and set fruit twice this year. Once in Dec and again this
spring in late March after I took it back outside for good. The early set
are a bit larger than golf balls now and the late set about marble size.

I would recommend going easy on the Miracle grow if you are going to keep it
in a container. You will eventually get a salt build up in the soil. A
good organic fertilizer would be better.

Good luck.
