Since putting in my Bottlebrush last April I've had it break out a
couple of times with some sparse blooms. But the sign that came with it
said year-around-bloomer. Am I doing something wrong?

It is getting full sun (10 hours a day).
I fertilize every 2 weeks with Peter's or MiracleGro.
I have heavy bottom growth which I am considering cutting back.
It gets more than enough water from my sprinklers and the guy next
doors. (Too much?)
I'm about 10 houses east of the ocean. (Too much salt?)

Please feel free to give me any advice on how to make this tree bloom.

Thanks
Paul

Try using Miracle Grow Bloom Booster of Peter's equivalent (I forget
what it's called). They are high in phosphates which promotes more
blooms rather than more greenery growth.
