Photinia Glabra Red Robin

Photinia glabra (Japanese Photinia)

Japanese Photinia

Photinia glabra, commonly known as the Japanese Photinia, is a popular hedging plant owing to its bright and colourful foliage. New growth is bright red and ages to become mid-dark green which results in a glossy plant with dual colouring through spring and summer. This quick growing evergreen can reach 6 m tall and the same wide but is commonly trimmed to sizes significantly less than this. Photinia glabra is commonly grown as an attractive and dense hedge but is also well suited to being used for shelter and screening.
