And you can fertilize more than twice a year. Generally, you can fertilize every month or even every two weeks with a weaker solution. That gives the tree more access to the ferts. Everyone has a different fertilizer... some like organic, some like powders. The important thing is that the tree is able to use it, that you don't give the tree so much that it burns the roots, and that it is what the tree needs in that particular season. (Although some say you can give a balanced fert all year long, and others say you need to use lower nitrogen in the fall/winter, I have no opinion yet, not having done this long enough)
