Returns Simplified.Photinia fraseri ‘Red Robin’ is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its vivid red young foliage that matures to glossy green, providing dense, yearround screening. Left untrimmed it can produce flat-topped clusters of small white flowers in spring, though regular clipping is ideal for neat hedging or for training as an espaliered screen. In suitable conditions, plants can eventually reach about 48 m in height with a similar spread if left unpruned, but they respond very well to routine clipping to maintain a compact, formal shape.
Feeding time: Spring Trimming time: After flowering in late spring to early summer; a second light trim in late summer if required
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.
