Is it and older tree and starting to flower? It has cream coloured flowers.

How often do you water it?

it was a xmas present, xmas 2006 but i have no idea how old it is. from top of soil to top of trunk is 15". it spent 12 months quite uncared for, not watered very much (its a long story), and it developed this stuff at some point during that time. its now back in my care so i can do what i need to.
