My big tree dragged its sorry ass and took about 7 years which is still faster than the average which seems to be 8 or 9 years. My smaller one was planted from a 'seed' taken from the first tree to fruit in a plantation but I don't know if that made a difference. Its a prodigy and took less than 5 years and was only 4 feet high at the time. Its the fastest I know of. I have another 10 foot high tree that 12 years old and it has never had fruit. The 3 trees were treated very differently and have different amounts of sunlight.
