Astcgirl, I would definitely put it in more sun. That could be mildew or something from being damp and not having good air circulation from being against the house. Both my Michelia x alba and Michelia champaca are planted in full sun and do just fine in it. Your trunk and branch girth seem a little thin, and your tree probably needs a little more growth to flower well. Michelia x albas are usually always grafted as they are impossible to propagate any othe way, and the scions are taken from flowering trees so they can flower at any stage. I think a little more sun and air circulation will fix your problem. It looks harmless in any case.
