As I said, it could either be a nutrient issue or maybe the plant isn't mature enough to produce fruit.

I'm really a novice myself. The plants are in full sun and I put a top layer of compost on them about 3 months ago. They have been watered by our South Florida summer rains and seemed to grow by the minute. The fruits posted in my gallery were buds in June and now are all pink colored.
My stems look a little larger than yours, maybe they are just not quite developed enough to hold fruit.
By the way, these plants were ignored next to the house for 2 years and never flowered. Once they got their own location, with full sun, they did much better. My trellis is made from a cement anchored 4X4 and 2X4's, I think it will survive a hurricane!
Here's a good link: FC28/MG041: Barbados Cherry (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/mg041)

Full sun ! I see them things growing quite a bit here in my area. any I see in full sun do great. grow fast and large.. but when ever I see them on the side of a house allowing 6 hours of sunlight they are smaller .. Not all of them bloom on the text book dates.. but even the shaded one will bloom..
