Sorbus Commixta Dodong Olympic Flame 12-14 cm Girth 45 litre Pot

The name for this spectacular Mountain Ash tree was inspired by its columnar habit and dramatic fiery autumnal colours that resemble the Olympic Flame. The pinnate foliage emerges coppery bronze, turning green through summer and transforming to dazzling reds and oranges in autumn. The autumn leaves compliment the orange - red berries, whilst in the spring time, creamy flowers sit prettily upon the bronze - green leaves.

Sorbus commixta 'Olympic Flame' is well suited to avenue or street planting as the columnar habit of this Sorbus variety maintains a neat, slender profile. Expect a height and spread of 6 x 4 metres in 20 years. Sorbus 'Olympic Flame' is tolerant of clay and prefers an acidic soil but can be planted in most well-drained sites.
