I acquired a few weeks ago a wonderful, thirty year old Ungetsu no Hikari, just after it has finished blooming and had been dead-headed. The weather here in Milwaukee for the last three weeks has been mostly sunny days [with the occasional daytime monsoon] and rain just about every other night--I haven't had to water in ten days. As a result, I have quite a bit of new growth on just about everything.
I've gently and judiciously trimmed back the bright green new shoots to maintain the beautiful styling, fertilized with a half-strength Miracid solution a couple of times. My question is this: what steps do I need to take, or what things to pay attention to, to create the best conditions for blossom formation next spring? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
