Your leaves look a little pale and may be lacking in some of the micro and trace elements. Applying an ultrabloom type fertilizer in early Spring may get your tree to start fruiting. Simon
If it's from seed it still might not be mature even after 7 years. It may also not be a lemon depending on source since citrus hybridize. Just graft on a scion of a lemon if that's what you want right now.
The second photo shows those nasty spikes on the branches, and this tells the tree is either a root stock took over the graft or it was from seed. I see all citrus grafted trees have suckers with long spikes as in the photo. I have not seen a citrus rootstock sucker that has fruit yet.
Mark my jacks order is in,I'm about to mix up a rate as you suggested of 1/2 tsp per gallon of water in my back pack sprayer and do a foliar spray.I did purchase a 95% sufactant as well,gonna keep you guys posted.
Repeated planting of deep rooting cover crops like pigeon peas can help break up clay soil,

Don't care of the food has micros, if it is a high P food like a 10-55-10, it will induce micro deficiencies. P is one the most over rated and abused macros thanks to the marketing efforts of vendors who hawk P just because it's needed for good blooming. Hell, they all are.
