Water it.

Some strange but true answers to mine. You do need to make sure that the tree is properly watered, and nutrients, added to the soil.
Beyond the dripline of the tree take four soil samples. Do it N-E-S-W. Test it for Ph. You can buy a kit at any hardware store. If it is not Acidic then go to the local Nursery to find the additive spike which will add to the soil and increase both the growth and yield.
Now comes the trick to a greater crop. In the third or forth year you basically trick the tree. After the leaves have turned or dropped you will measure about three to four foot above the ground and make a mark. Follow that mark around the tree then make another mark approx two inches above it.
Use a Razor or Lineoleum knife to cut into to bark around those marks. You need go no further than the bark itself!
Do not cut into the tree itself, only the bark. Cover the wound with beeswax, Vaseline, anything but a paint.
This makes the tree believe it has a problem and it will put forth more fruit in order to survive. You can wrap the tree in gauze, tarpaper, whatever you like, after the flowering. Your yield will increase dependent on circumstances.
Do this only once every three years. It is how the Orchard Growers in our state do it. We adopted it from the Amish. It works, hope it does for you.

This sounds strange, but it works!
Roll up a Sunday newspaper (as much as you can hold) to form a bat. Beat the trunk of the tree from the ground to the first branch all the way around as hard as you can. This disturbs the layer of cells just below the bark making the tree think it is hurt causing it to send more nutrients to the 'wound'. Since the tree is not injured the extra nutrients will case the tree to grow faster and produce more fruit.
Professional tree companies get the same results by scoring the bark. How ever if attempted by an amateur the layer below the bark can be cut and kill the tree.
Note: you might want to do this at night so the neighbors don't think you are crazy.

Like I advised fr your orange tree fertilise it well with blood and bone right before it flowers and water very deeply while the fruit develops to ensure you get large sweet fruit.

While the tree is in flower you will see how much potential fruit you have each flower is a potential fruit those flowers that are pollinated will develop into fruit. Those flowers that are not pollinated will not become fruit.

You need to observe the tree during flowering. If you only have a few flowers you will only get a few fruit. If you have a lot of flowers but there are no bees, or other insects to do the pollinating then you need to pollinate the flowers manually. Pollination can be achieved by usig a light artists paint brush and transferring pollin from flower to flower.

Prune your tree well after fruiting. Allow the tree to rest for a couple of months through winter then at the end of winter dig the blood and bone through the soil around the tree. This encourage lots of ew growth and flowers for the next years crop.

Adding more nitrogen might help. It promotes better growth which helps with the quality of the fruit. I would think the better the growth, the more fruit. You might also try planting a few flowers to bring in the bees to help pollinate the tree.

Fertilize it and water and mist it.

I am assuming it is a plant because if it is an animal then forget the above directions and animals do not grow fruit but they do eat fruit so get it some fruit at the grocery.

Emsure it is getting enough food, water, and sunlight. By food, I don't mean a cheeseburger. PLANT food. And plently of water, but not TOO much water, as too much of a good thing can defintaely be a bad thing. As for sunlight, check around the tree to see if there are any other plants that might be stealing it's sunlight.
