Hi all, I’m wondering when these begin to start flowering?

I’ve had mine in the ground for about 3 years  or so. It’s about 25 feet tall and while it hasn’t been getting taller the trunk has been getting thicker. 
 

at what period do they start flowering?

 

im in SoCal San Bernardino. 
 

Thank you in advance !

This is a tough one to get to flower in SoCal as it blooms in late fall/early winter in SoCal and usually those times are too cool for the flowering process and it aborts. I have only seen 2 flower here and they have been in the ground for 15-20 years. Delonix regia flowers earlier, so we see it in bloom much more here.

Not exactly a palm. LOL.

Mine in O'ahu took about 10 years.   Ever fall it flowers.  Bees love it

Tenía entendido que en su hábitat florece en la estación seca, es probable que esa sea la clave? ¿Podría ser extrapolable al cultivo? Me refiero a dejar de regar para inducir la floración antes de que comience el verdadero frío

From what I've read you need to wait a few more years. Mine is 2yo and if it makes it through the winter.. I may see flowers on an exceptionally warm December, after the year 2033...

Zone 9b: if you love it, cover it.
