Spray a mixture of mostly water and a little bit of neem oil and mild soap to the areas affected by bugs in the early evening hours and that should do the trick. Its natural and non-toxic.
But other than that, doesnt seem like you need any "help" to me! Getting a trachy to flower is a nice mildstone, congrats! The mild winter probably did help make that happen, but it also seems like it was just mature enough to flower now. Im not too good at determining this, but it looks female to me. If thats true, then you can have some seeds if a male tree is nearby to pollinate it!
