Jarad should know the answer but does anyone know how much longer till this thing will fruit? I have seen people get a lot of fruits off a small plant, so I am expecting to harvest quite a lot of them.

Nice looking plant!! They have plenty growing here but I can't help you sadly as all the fruit seems to be on large trees! Not what you wanted to hear, I know!

It all depends on whether its a plant from air-layering or grafting, or from seedling. From seedling, it might take 4 to 5 years from planting in the ground. From air-layers, or grafting, it should fruit within 2 years after planting in the ground. In a pot, you might take a 1 to 2 year longer wait, depending on the weather and nutritional care.

That's a healthy potting mix. Adding the P-N'-N according to the directions is good. The soil builder does not need to be added more than once or twice per year for a plant in a pot. The nutrients in the worm castings are insignificant compared to the P-N'-N, but they don't hurt either. 1/4 to 1/2 inch mulch would be better than compost on top, but what you are doing is no harm either. All-in-all, that plant is thoroughly pampered and well-cared for!
