Really interesting, Kevin. Mine is still growing like that too. I think pruning will help.

I had the same problem and eventually snipped the tip which did in fact encourage it to start branching out.

Beware though that, while there doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer on this, some say a citrus tree needs to reach a certain node count (number of leaves from the base) before it will flower. If you keep pruning the tips off it may never grow enough nodes to start flowering. To be safe I wouldn’t cut too much off!
