Ask-a-Dave's-Gardener: Chinese Fringe Tree, 2 by eaglenest54

Hello, about 3 years ago, I planted a Chinese Fringe Tree (from 25\" container) in San Diego (92129). It\'s very much alive, but it leafs and flowers out around May AND FROM THE BOTTOM UP. It starts at the lowest branches and then slowly and methodically leafs and flowers out toward the top, one branch at a time. My neighbor\'s very mature tree leafs and flowers very early in the year and is done flowering by the time mine is just starting (from the bottom up). Can anyone advise if this is normal, and if not, what I might be doing wrong and how to correct. It gets full sun most of the day. Thank You!
