How old is it? Has it ever flowered? Have you pruned it? Sorry to ask questions, but it all helps us to answer you.

the tree is about 5 years old. I pruned it last year hoping that it will flower. It has never had any floweres, it got a few buds but they didnt flower. Hope this helps

There seems to be a lot of growth low down in the picture. Are there new shoots coming up at ground level?

There are quite a few new shoots coming from the ground
and the tree is quite full at the bottom.

It looks a healthy plant to me. Maybe you pruned it at the wrong time and unfortunately cut off the flowering shoots. If it has some sunshine in its position and seems happy, I think you will have to be patient. Good luck for next year.
