Dear Jim,
This plant has a reputation for sometimes skipping a year (or more). I
think we talked about this in the past and this was true for some and not
for others which is the response you are getting this time as well. You
could check the archives. I think mine bloomed more reliably with hotter
summers than they do here where they sometimes skip more than a year. And I
expect that my trees are providing too much shade as well. In our climate
they have a brief dormancy in late summer. Last year they bloomed for the
first time in awhile. So if it is too hot for them in Taiwan, it may be too
cool for them in coastal Northern California and just right for them in
Southern California and New York.
