According to the Bonsai's guide by H. Tomlinson. Philippine-tea should bloom in early spring and summer, then it should bear fruits. Unfortunately this tropical plant for 2 years in a row only has shown flowers late in December. Thus with the absence of pollinators as a result I'm missing out on the fruits. Is there a way I can manipulate the tree and coax it to bloom earlier? Any help would be appreciated.
