What what age does a Southern Magnolia bloom?

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.

What kind tree is a maple tree?

A maple tree is a deciduous (leaves fall off) hardwood tree. It is a member of the same family as acer or sycamore.

Acers are generally, but not exclusively, of an ornamental nature. Japanese acers tend to be smaller and more colourful, such as acer palmatum variegatus which is often red leaved with finely cut leaves.

European members of the family are sycamores with winged seeds and bright green foliage.

Maple is usually the term for north American and Canadian varieties.

all members of the family are deciduous with fine grained near-white wood with a straight grain, birdseye maple has a unique grain pattern caused by sub surface buds that have never sprouted, no one knows why.... fiddleback maple is favoured for musical instruments and is a spectacular pattern caused by certain sawing patterns of branch/trunk nodes.

All maples produce a sugary syrup (sap) that is famed in north America and Canada for its sweetness and a relatively cheap food source (by the time it is shipped to Europe, it is an expensive foodstuff) the syrup is "tapped" from living trees and cooked to produce its brown colour and unique taste.

ALL maples produce this sap but it is normally in very small quantities and not normally edible.

If acer, maple or sycamore are cut for timber and dried in horizontal stacks (like all normal timbers are) it produces a blue stain in the wood, caused by fungus eating the sap.... this makes the timber unusable, so acer sycamore and maple is normally dried vertically. it still produces the blue staining but this is confined to the bottom few inches where the sap settles..... it is easily sawed off and discarded leaving white to creamy or honey white timber.

Maple varnishes well to produce the honey colour we are used to in violins etc.

It can be noted that the ancient Venetians (people of Venice) cured their timber - usually sycamore - in salt water lagoons instead of air dried stacks (there's not much land in Venice but a lot of water) this produces a timber with "closed" pores, whereas air drying gives open pores, and can be found in musical instruments made by Stradivarius and others.
