How long is a long time? You can expect 2 years from planting as a minimum before flowering/fruiting. Could be longer under less favorable conditions. Second fruiting is shorter, again depends on conditions. A piece of apple placed in the center is said to speed up flowering (old wive's tale?). We never tried it ourselves. Patience is the best answer.
