It took a while to get any fruit (I'm impatient) but the lemon from seed has grown 3 years and just got it's first bloom! The orange, another Lemon and tangerine I got from burgess they are cheep and will send you small trees but they do have a one year guarantee and will send you a replacement if it dies! I have had one ripe lemon very flavorful and it has about 20-30 unripe oranges on one as well... it's only 2 years old since I've gotten it from them! I was pretty impressed!
I'm sure the production will pick up greatly once it's older... I grew some mini pomegranates from seed... and have gotten about 5 ripe ones so far... they are 2 years old... but I do have 4 plants but they are very small about a foot or so tall in small gallon pots... I'm going to replant them in something a little bigger see if that helps them fill out more and bloom...
As for the banana it sill has yet to bloom but sure it pretty... I'm hoping we get some fruit this year from it!
All of my trees were either grown from a seed or a very small seedling to start with... it took about 2 years for my first fruit which isn't bad for fruit trees I thought... my apples I planted in the ground are no where near blooming... and they are the same age as my potted plants...
As for the work you have the initial investment of pots (the bigger ones are a tad pricey) and in the winter you need to water them at least once a week... but lucky for me all the citrus trees are EASY to grow and are very forgiving... Summer I plop my plants outside and let nature take care of them giving them a drink from time to time if it hasn't rained in a while...
