#1: [IBC] Jamaican Rain Tree

Greetirngs Bonsai Enthusiasts!
I am new to the list and have enjoyed monitoring it over the past week. I
have a question that I would like to post: What is the best way to entice a
Jamaican Rain Tree to flower? Last year it was blossoming all summer, this
year I had 2-3 blossoms early in the spring and nothing since. It IS
growing quite well, lots of new growth but no flowers..perhaps I need to
increase the P or K in the fertilizer? Does this species have any
particular quirks in its growing needs?
Thanks for any help.

A lot of growth and no flowers can be a symptom of too much nitrogen
in your fertilizer. Try a formula with a high middle number, sometimes sold as
"Bloom Buster."
