Default [IBC] winter fertilizing

I have always had problems with fertilizing. I never know which
fertilizer
to use. For now, i need to know how I should fertilize my

bonsai during the
winter. I started using a "Blossom and Root Builder" 0-10-10

fertilizer last
week. Is this right? Should I be using anything else? Thanks

for the help.

That ought to work, but if you have an early spring (Feb or
March) in California (I don't know where Orinda is), you might
want to start adding a little N in January. Once a month is the
max times you want to fertilize outdoor trees in the winter.

I don't fertilize at all from December through January. Then I
start with a 20-20-20 in mid-to-late February.
