Description

A vigorous evergreen standard with a spectacular display of colour-changing foliage. The leaves of 'Red Robin' gradually change across the seasons, most notably shining in a glossy, bright red, but also feature orange, purple, and bronze tones, before maturing to dark green.

Feel amazed straight away with this deeply impressive standard tree, delivered to you established and already roughly 1.9m tall! A great and versatile standard Photinia with a head of foliage above a clear stem, growing up to 30cm a year once in place and settled.

The newest shoots retain a dark red glow through the year. This fast growing variety produces springtime clusters of dainty white flowers for added interest, sometimes even followed by ornamental red fruit.

It is the bright, blood-red spring foliage that lifts 'Red Robin' above the rest - the colour is intense and unusual, particularly for so early in the year, and as an evergreen, it remains interesting regardless of the seasonal conditions.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Supplied as a standard tree, roughly 40-50cm in diameter and 1.9m tall, in an 18L pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
Specimen plants can be pruned or clipped up to three times a year to encourage new red leaves to develop.
Care Information
  • Also known as the Christmas Berry, Photinia 'Red Robin' grows best in fertile, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade.
  • A sheltered position is best as the new growth can be scorched by drying wind or late frosts. Regular watering can cut down the risk of scorching.
  • Really easy to care for - any pruning is minimal, and is usually just formative. Carried out before mid-summer, it allows new growth to harden off before winter.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
