You add any fertiliser?
I have the fruit every now and then the largest was about the size of a tennis ball. Any bigger it’ll drop to the ground.

I suspect so. But dunno whether there's such a thing or not.

Apply those liquid fertiliser for flowering plants. Hopefully your plant will have flowers which will then be pollinated by insects to give you the kaffir lime .

A lot of trees are both male and female, so these types of trees have no bearing fruit problem.
However, there are also a lot of trees that are solely male or solely female. You cannot tell their genders until they bear flowers. The flowers give clues to whether they are male or female. .....

grown from seeds, or cloned from mother plant? from seeds will take 4 yrs or more, clones are faster.
besides long hrs of sunlight and good drainage, ferterlizers with phosphorous, potassium and a host of trace elements are needed. that's why commercial farming is easier to mass produce because chemical ferterlizers are cheap, whereas organic way very difficult.
if the tree grows very well with plenty of leaves, too much nitrogen types of ferterlizers which inhibits the intakes of other nutrients
one trick you can try is to do ring cutting on the trunk

Either your soil no nutrients, or no sun or no water. Or can be more than one.
