PHOTINIA SERR. RED ROBIN COMPATTA CLT 30 SPALL 100 x 60 CM

Photinia fraseri Compacta is a compact, evergreen selection prized for its smaller, glossy leaves that flush bright red before maturing to deep green, making an excellent medium-height hedge or trained screen. It performs best in fertile, well-drained soil and in sun or light shade, and can be kept neatly clipped for a formal look or allowed a little more freedom for a softer screen. Expect an eventual size of around 2m tall and 2m wide, with small white spring flowers if plants are not trimmed before flowering.

Feeding time: Spring Trimming time: Late spring to early summer (MayJune), after flowering; a light trim again in midsummer (July) if needed

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
