This coming season, I would suggest you fertilize the trees with citrus fruit fertilizer. Chances are that you had "bud drop" and that the birds did not eat buds from your tree.
I had a bumper crop of lemons and key limes from my trees and got lots of juice for cheesecakes and pies - and gave quite a bit of juice away to TOTV members.
