Orange Tree with no fruit

I planted a orange tree from a seed about 5 years ago. This seed was from a Clementine orange. The tree is about 3 feet tall now, and is in great shape. It has never had any flowers to start the pollination. What do I do to get some fruit?

Treat it with a large amount of Time, at least several years' worth.

 

Clementines do not grow true from seed. There is a very slim chance that the tree produced from the seed would be vigorous enough and have the kind of qualities it would take to make it as a new commercial variety, however there is a pretty good chance that the fruit will be a good tasting fruit somewhat similar to the parent.

It can take 8-10 years for an orange to fruit from seed, but clementines should fruit in 5 to 7 years from seed. The first year fruit may not be as good as it will be after it is more mature.

You can always graft it to put any variety on it (even multiple varieties).
