Photinia Red Robin is a popular evergreen shrub and is also known as Photinia Christmas Berry - latin name Photinia Fraseri
This upright, ever green shrub is frost hardy, very easy to grow and will thrive in most locations. Photinia Red Robin has wonderful year round interest and works very well as an evergreen hedging plant with a maximum height of 4 metres and a spread of 2 metres.
Red Robin's attractive young leaves are bright red in colour gradually turning green as the leaves age - so the shrub has a wonderful range of leaf colours throughout the growing season, usually May - June. It also forms small white flowers and fruits in August.
If used as for evergreen hedging and pruned regularly - it will keep the new growth coming and encourage the red coloured leaves for which this shrub is renowned.
As it is easy to shape, Photinia is also a popular choice of shrub for use in topiary - Red Robin Half Standard or Photinia Red Robin Full Standard for a screening tree.
Photinia Red Robin is one of Paramount's most popular shrubs. We have a wide range of suitable plants for evergreen screening at the nursery in North London.
