I can't speak to the self fertility because of the number of C. mas trees I have, but every one took 7 years or longer to start blooming, and once they did bloom, it took at least two more years before they started to bear. Once bearing started, they've never missed.

I also wrote in my book that the flowers are do "not seem to be completely

degrees F.
