Product Description

Photinia Fraseri ‘Red Robin’, often referred to as Christmas berry ‘Red Robin’, is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree that brings bold colour and structure to the garden. Its glossy, elliptic leaves emerge bright red before maturing to deep green, creating a striking contrast throughout spring and summer. When left unpruned, it produces clusters of creamy-white flowers in spring, adding further seasonal interest.

With an erect habit and the potential to reach 4–8 metres in height over 10–20 years, Red Robin is ideal for use as an evergreen hedge, privacy screen or feature shrub. It responds well to pruning, allowing you to maintain a neat, dense shape or encourage fresh flushes of red foliage. Suitable for loam, sand or chalk soils, and tolerant of acid, neutral or alkaline pH, this adaptable shrub thrives in full sun or partial shade in a sheltered position.

Grown by Allensmore Nurseries and supplied in a 3Ltr pot, this Photinia shrub is well-established and ready to plant, making it an excellent choice for both new and established gardens.

Add lasting colour and reliable structure to your garden with Photinia Fraseri ‘Red Robin’ in a 3Ltr pot – a dependable, low-maintenance choice for vibrant hedging and year-round interest.
