Photinia robusta, also known as red-tipped photinia, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to East Asia. It is widely appreciated for its striking red new growth, which contrasts beautifully with its mature, dark green leaves. The plant typically grows between 6 to 12 feet tall and is commonly used in hedges, screens, and ornamental landscaping due to its dense foliage and colorful appearance.
In the spring, Photinia robusta produces clusters of small, white flowers, followed by red berries in the summer. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it adaptable to various garden settings. This hardy plant is popular in temperate climates and is especially valued for its vibrant seasonal color, adding both visual appeal and privacy to gardens and landscapes.
