My lemon tree has no fruit

Hi. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what is hapenning with my lemon tree please. We moved in to this new place a little while ago. The lemon treen is in the front garden in full sun. It looks as though it was cut off a foot above the ground in the last few years or so. It is about 4 meters high now with lots of healthy branches and leaves shooting from the old stump. However, there is not a single flower or any fruit. What should I do?

I think it would help if you post photos of the tree, with close ups of the trunk area where you say it was cut off and of the leaves.

Initial thoughts are -- are you talking about the graft union in the trunk?

If so, could be a good sign as it would mean a grafted tree intended for desirable fruit, early maturity and production as well as dwarf and/or hardiness characteristics.

if so, could be a bad sign as the grafted desirable portion may have died and the remaining growing portion is only the rootstock.
