Photinia x fraseri ‘Red Robin’ 2.5m tall clipped cone

Photinia x fraseri ‘Red Robin’ is a fast-growing, evergreen plant with vibrant colours that enhance garden and boundaries in the spring, summer and winter months. In spring, the young serrated foliage emerges red, accompanied by an abundance of white flowers in April/May. As the young red leaves of the tree mature, they gradually harden to a glossy green. These clipped bushes are a popular choice for instant screening, to do this the plants should be planted close together in a row and pruned twice a year (in late spring and summer) in order to create a dense, formal hedge of up to 4m high when mature. These 2.5m clipped cones can also be used for specimen planting as a feature plant in a border or lawned area.
