Further Information
You'll see our recommended planting densities for each size and root type listed in the product grid. We suggest that you use these as a guide, taking into consideration how long you're willing to wait to see your finished hedge. As a rough indication bare roots can be planted at anything from 3 to 7 per metre and cell grown between 4 and 6 - the higher densities here would need to be planted in a double staggered row or zig-zag.
For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section.

Pruning Advice
Photinia should be trimmed to a formal hedge shape in late Winter and early Spring or can be left informal, just being trimmed down in height and width when needed.

Photinia x fraseri 'Red Robin'
If you're looking for year-round interest in your garden, Photinia Red Robin is the hedging plant for you. With clusters of delicate white flowers and vivid, scarlet leaves in spring that transform into a striking deep green in winter, Photinia Red Robin will truly stand out in your garden.
Photinia 'Red Robin' isn't an overly dense shrub, however, being evergreen and with fairly large leaves, it can still offer a good degree of privacy. It has an average growth rate of 30cm per annum, and can easily be maintained up to a height of 4m - either trim to a formal hedge shape in spring or summer or leave informal, just with a little trim as and when it's needed.
Although Photinia prefers sunny conditions, it can still grow well in partial shade and thrives in well-drained soil. It's resilient against frost, but young plants should be protected during the winter.
It's worth noting that Photinia Red Robin can be prone to occasional leaf drop, so if this happens, carefully prune it back and apply a slow-release fertiliser during the spring, watering it if necessary. With the correct care, you'll be rewarded with vigorous, vibrant regrowth.
If you'd like a more low-growing and compact version of Photinia, we also have Photinia 'Little Red Robin,' which is smaller but still has big impact.
