I just repotted a brush cherry (Eugenia) from nursery stock and I’m wondering when I should fertilize it

If it helps, the formula that works for me in my climate with all my plants:
Start fertilizing it in the Spring, with a high Nitrogen fert, say 10:8:6.
At the beginning of the Summer, use a balanced fert, like 5:5:5 or 10:10:10 till the beginning of the Autunm. I (for example) use Biogold Classic, NPK: 5,5; 6,5; 3,5
From there on, a low N fert (I use 0,5,5).
For Camellias and Azaleas, I use Miracid (acidic fertiliser).
Don't fertilize in the Winter or when the plant is sick.
