Default Blooming and trimming.

I believe you normally prune in the winter when the tree is dormant. I have five different trees and they bloom beginning this month and it takes another month before they are all blooming. Variety of tree and age also affect the blooming. It will bloom. Make sure it is getting enough water. I do not prune mine back. I like them for their shade also.
