Description

Evergreen shrubs often used as hedging, this Photinia boasts stunning leaves that dazzle in red as they first emerge. 'Little Red Robin' is a compact and eye-catching specimen tree.

With smaller leaves than its bigger relative, it has an even bolder and brighter red glow as new leaves emerge through summer. What's more, in this stylish lollipop standard form, it's even more of a year-round focal point and feature too.

Expertly crafted across four years, ‘Little Red Robin’ is easy to maintain with a simple trim to shape each autumn and occasionally through the growing season to keep it in shape. Grow in full sun for best red foliage colour and it will glow on those long summer nights. Whilst it will fade to darker green somewhat over winter, it retains a mix of red tones all year.

A good gift plant, we even do all the wrapping for you, in a brown hessian bag with a green fabric bow.

Supplied as a standard tree, 70-80cm tall in 3L pot, with 50cm clear stem. Growing to a height of 1.5 m and spread of 1.2 m, dependant on pruning.

Top Tips
  • Standard Photinia can be clipped up to 3 times a year to encourage the new red leaves to develop.
Care Information
  • Also known as the Christmas Berry, photinia 'Red Robin' grows best in fertile, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade.
  • A sheltered position is best as the new growth can be scorched by drying wind or late frosts. Regular watering can cut down the risk of scorching.
  • Really easy to care for, any pruning is minimal, and is usually just formative. Carried out before mid-summer, it allows new growth to harden off before winter.
