Photinia Red Robin

 

Short Description
Brilliant deep crimson new growth in early spring. A top hedge plant. Withstands hard pruning. Plant about 80cm to 1m apart.

 

More Information
The spacing of plants when planting a new hedge is determined by 2 things: The plant being used, and the expected finished height of the hedge. Generally, as the expected height of a hedge is reduced the plants have to be planted closer together. This means more plants are required for a low hedge and as such a low hedge can cost more.

Photinia Red Robin is a classic hedge plant and can be used for a hedge from about 1m up to 2.5m. The common height would be about 1.5 m. If you want a hedge less than 1m, then it is recommended to use a different plant variety. For a hedge at 1m height plant about 60-75cm apart. For a hedge 2m or thereabouts plant at 80cm. A metre is a bit far, and can result in a triangular gap at ground level between plants.

Prune Photinia Red Robin in winter. The new growth when it shoots in spring will be the famous red flame color. You can do a second prune if required late spring and will likely result in a flush of new red shoots. Do not prune early winter or late summer, as new shoots will appear and likely burn off in a frost.

If the hedge gets too big or out of control, severely cut back even down to a stump. A stump will put out new shoots over time and the hedge can be reformed.

If a hedge starts to look a bit gray or rust colored, then it may have a problem with mites. This can be an issue with high humidity environments. Prune back as outlined above and spray with a general purpose insecticide.
