I first became acquainted with Magnolia Grandiflora as a young child in Minden, LA (east of Shreveport) in the '50's. I remember first being attracted by its large, showy, fragrant flowers on my walks around the neighborhood. So, this question took me on a trip down Memory Lane as I researched it. I could not find a definitive statement, as in X years. However, two phrases kept repeating:
1. Flowers bloom in spring and sporadically throughout summer on mature trees.
2. Flowers do not grow on young trees. In my research (limited) I did not find specific definitions of "young" and "mature". My suggestion is: be patient. They're worth the wait. Good luck.
