Planting service If you want unusual foliage, the 'Red Robin' is the perfect choice. The elliptic leaves are finely serrated at their margins and fresh foliage shoots through as a brilliant red colour. The leaves mature to a dark green, but as new foliage continues to emerge red you get a real contrast of colours over the spring period. Mid-spring also sees the arrival of clusters of pretty white flowers, which add further interest. Come autumn, the leaves mature to a bronzed green, which adds great interest over the winter months. Spacing depends mostly on your budget and patience. The closer you plant them, the sooner they will knit together. We don't advise planting more than 4 per metre. Remember, these can grow 4 m high and just as wide although 4m spacing for a hedge is closer to unrealistic than reasonable money-saving idea. You can also plant Photinia Red Robin in containers so enabling you to move the tree to your heart's content. Remember that if the pot is too small it will restrict the size of the tree and will require feeding and watering more often than if it was in the ground. Our rule of thumb is the bigger the pot, the less risk you have of damaging or killing the tree. The Photinia Red Robin is very good for topiary and other ornamental uses. Foliage: The most distinctive feature of Photinia Red Robin is its striking new foliage, which emerges as bright red or bronze-red leaves before maturing to glossy green. This vibrant coloration is especially pronounced in spring but can appear periodically throughout the year.HS)Girth 5-6cm: Half Standard,15L pot, around 80-100cm clear trunk and head *20-50cm wide and tall.
