Citrus like a tremendous amount of heat and sunshine; some more than others. Citrus are generally heavy feeders: it is necessary to feed them about four times throughout the year. Pot culture is popular and so is putting them in a nice warm place in the garden. Get some citrus food and follow the directions on the box; also key limes (Mexican limes) tend to fruit in autumn. Other than that, it is hard to say without knowing the conditions you have them in. The one gallon could be a bit young yet.
Is the tree 3 years old yet? They first start producing in about thier 3rd year..also do not over fertilize..or keep them in any cold weather at all...they detest this..here is a good article on these limes... Either Mexican lime or Tahiti lime will produce more fruit than most families could use, given modest care and freedom from cold damage. Budded trees will commence to bear in the third year after planted, marcots in the second year. Primary production will be in the summer months, but some fruit can be borne year round. Mexican lime achieves maximum flavor and juiciness when the rind becomes yellow, while Tahiti lime fruit are best just before they become completely yellow. Because limes begin to drop after the rind becomes yellow, the juice can be extracted for freezing in ice cube trays. After freezing, the cubes can be stored frozen for later use. Aside from their obvious use in the flavoring of beverages such as tea and water, limes are also used in cakes, pies, candies and marinades and flavoring for fish, meat and poultry.
