Default fertilizer for October Glory Maple tree

2 years ago i planted the October Glory but it's not growing at the rate i
had hpoed. i live in NJ and the soil is pretty much sandy below the first
several inches. it gets good watering and had a nice size mulch area around
it and i will be increasing that size this spring. what kind of fertilizer
is recommended for trees. this young tree is about 12' tall, trunk is
about 3" wide. the tree gets full sun from 10am til dusk and i was told
this is ideal for this tree. i'd like to give it a good jump start int he
spring so any help is appreciated.
