I planted a "leveller" last autumn. After a slow start this spring, it's
fully leafed up. However, according to "The Fruit Expert" it should have
blossomed in April. I saw no blossom.

The flower on older wood- it's probably too young.

Also, the flowers are easily missed. I only know mine are in flower when I
see the bees buzzing about. A closer inspection then confirms it. By now
you should be able to see the fruit forming (my whitesmith and leveller
bushes have fruit about marble-size right now).
