I hate to burst your bubble, but the vast majority of citrus trees grown from seed take a very long time to produce fruit, at time between 5-10 years, some also require contact with male trees before they will produce. Unless you're willing to pay for professional grafting of the tree with one that has already borne fruit, I would suggest attempting to purchase one which is already potted. There are a number of websites to purchase partially mature or mature citrus trees from.
