I have seen it both ways. A few years ago I posted a picture of one flowering at a nursery in Carpinteria (~10 miles from me) and it had leaves. Mine has been loosing the leaves for a few weeks and I thought it must be flowering or the stupid cold was affecting it. Once I went on my roof I saw the flower. If you look down the flower you can see very small immature fruit. I will try to take more pictures.
