Description:

Photinia x fraseri ‘Red Robin’ in standard form is a unique and versatile evergreen shrub known for its striking red foliage and its trained, compact canopy. With a 10-litre pot size and a current size of 100-125 cm in height (including the stem) and a 50 cm head, this Photinia standard is an excellent choice for adding vibrant color and structure to your garden or outdoor space.

The standard form means that the plant has been trained to have a defined stem with a compact, rounded canopy. At its current size, the stem reaches a height of 100-125 cm, and the head (canopy) has a diameter of 50 cm. When fully mature, the entire standard plant typically reaches a total height of up to 2.5 meters, including the stem and head, with a spread of up to 2.5 meters.

The standout feature of ‘Red Robin’ is its bright red new foliage, which adds a burst of color in spring. In late spring, it produces small clusters of creamy white flowers. As the season progresses, the red foliage gradually matures to glossy green, providing year-round visual interest.

Photinia x fraseri ‘Red Robin’ in standard form is generally hardy and adaptable. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
