Default Stimulating growth of a Chinese Pistache?

Hey All,

I'm in San Antonio, Texas, and just figured out i have a Chinese
Pistache in my front yard (always wondered what it was). The thing is,
i've read that they're relatively fast-growing, but the tree hasn't
done anything in the past year or two, except put a couple (6 or so)
inches on the top. I've been fertilizing and watering my lawn with the
sprinkler system, but i'd like to stimulate growth of the tree, and
especially make sure i keep it healthy. Could y'all recommend a good
fertilizer and watering regimen? Or is there anything else i should be
doing? Burning incense, ringing a gong, etc?

Thanks,
Jeff
