Bare Root Olympic Flame
Considered a stiff tree when young which we assume to be lack of "bendiness" and not rigid, historical Victorian values. The leaves are green going to a Coppery colour followed by an orange. The creamy flowers turn into fruits that are bright orange to red and are not persistent.
Suitable for Coastal, acidic, clay and wet locations, sunny or partial sun.
Considered a medium-height tree which in tree circles means it will be around 4 metres at 10 years although could go on to grow some more depending on local conditions, weather, low-flying helicopters, hedge trimmer-happy neighbours etc.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Usually air and light is reduced and if it is a corner with a wooden fence and the house then leeching from both could compound issues. Try to avoid.
1 Year Maiden Bare Root Trees
If you plant a 1 Year maiden tree and do not prune it at all, it will grow a little more upright and have more clear stem.
Sorbus Not Flowering
Sounds like it might need a fertilizer. Nitrogen encourages leafy growth, often at the expense of flowers and fruit. Select a fruit tree specific fertilizer, or use a fertilizer that promotes flowers, such as "0-10-10" or "15-30-15." The numbers represent the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contained by the fertilizer. Berry production does vary each year due in to weather conditions.
