Growing: In the Ground

Question:

How do I get this tree to set fruit,I have tried nearly everything fro fertilising to even threatening by giving a harsh prune but it just grew better and produced more flowers to fall.

I have a bore so it gets regular water varied fertiliser regime too, the longan on one side and the mangoes on two sides have all fruited well, my banana five meters away are producing for the second time, HELP

ps I live in Connolly a northern Perth suburb.

thanks in anticipation

I'm so excited to have this plant. I will have to patient and wait for it to fruit, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Again this one is new and in a pot so it can move house with me.

Comments: -

I worried about my sapote at first and molly coddled it for a while but it is doing quiet well so far, I have it protected with shade cloth in the chook yard, so the chooks are keeping weeds and bugs at bay, the only worry I have is the heat and the wind, (it can get very hot and windy here), it is watered by reticulation daily and mulched well.
