Photinia fraseri ‘Red Robin’ is a vigorous, evergreen hedging shrub prized for its glossy foliage and brilliant red young growth that matures to green. In mid to late spring it bears clusters of small white flowers, and may produce decorative red berries in autumn. It forms a dense, easily clipped screen in full sun or light shade and prefers moist but welldrained, moderately fertile soil with some shelter from cold winds. If left untrimmed, expect an eventual height of around 4m and a spread of approximately 34m. Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Feeding time: Spring Trimming time: After flowering in late spring to early summer (MayJune); a light trim again in late summer if shaping is needed
To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
