It will flower well if you add plenty of well rotted manure around the roots.
Ps dont forget to inform your neighbours if you decide to set it on fire!! All the Best.
My parents used to call it "slash and burn time" after they got lacerations, my dad said nothing gave him greater pleasure than to set fire to it.
My mum used to thread string around the base, then wiggle it all up until she could tie the string mid trunk ( holding up the leaves ) double knot, trim around , untie the knot and tidy up.
