Photinia x Fraseri Red Robin (Christmas Berry Red Robin) - Standard Pleached
The lovely Photina, also known as the ‘Red Robin’, is now available in arch form for all those special occasions. The plant itself is native to North America and Asia although has been successfully grown in many gardens throughout the UK for about 20 years now. The actual name of the plant, “Photina”, is actually derived from the word “photeinos” which is Greek for “glossy”, a very true statement when it comes to this plant. This plant is perfect for the British climate and can successfully be grown throughout the country. With a high hardiness rating, it is perfect for planting in well-drained soil. Green throughout the year, the best part of the Photina is that when it gets to spring, the flowers start to turn into a beautiful red and white colour, providing a very romantic view. Minimal pruning is required but an occasional trim in Spring and Summer is advised.
