Is temperature a factor? We have hot dry summers and cool moist winters. It's been milder than usual the past few winters (winters have been shorter too).

I've never seen it flower. I have a dwarf of another cold hardier variety and it only fruits a little. What am I doing wrong? Or does it take a long time to fruit?
