Photinia is a genus of over 40 species, and the genus is part of the Rosaceae family. The botanical name comes from the Greek word 'photeinos', meaning shiny, and this name is attributed to the glossy leaves. Photinias are native to Asia and India and they are now globally cultivated for their attractive ornamental properties. Most photinias are evergreen, and the highly popular 'Red Robin' is often planted as a screening tree as it provides the perfect balance of an attractive tree, matched with the practical capability of providing screening all year round.
As well as the highly attractive foliage, Photinias are also admired for their flowers and fruits. The flowers grow in flat corymbs, and these flowers later turn to berries, giving the genus its common name of ‘Christmas berry’. This is an outstanding genus which is deservedly popular.

Photinia Red Robin
Red Robin Tree
Photinia fraseri 'Red Robin' offers year round interest with its vivid red leaves. In spring it has further interest with clusters of white flowers. A fantastic screening tree, hedge or ornamental specimen. 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. This is a deservedly popular variety and it is largely planted for its versatility. You can plant the 'Red Robin' at the back of a border or you can use it as a screening tree. It can cope with hard pruning, so, when several are planted in a row, you get an informal hedge. You can also clip the 'Red Robin' into a particular shape. In order to get the best leaf colour and the most flowers, ensure you plant this tree in a full sun position with some shelter.
