Photinias are evergreen shrubs commonly found in woodlands. They have alternate, lance-shaped leaves which are mid green in colour. Evergreen leaves are glossy and have a bright red sometimes pink colour when young. Photinia Red Robin have bright red new growth that matures to green with age. Photinia have small five-petalled, cup-shaped flowers which are followed by spherical fruits which are usually red in colour. Red Robin are best planted in a shrub border or around a garden as a hedge. They enjoy fertile, well-drained soil and full or partial sun.

“We purchased and planted 8 pleached Photinia Red Robin trees from Grasslands in Nov 2020. 6 of the original trees died due our garden being largely made up of poorly draining clay soil. Grasslands we’re very helpful in trying to remedy the issue. After numerous emails - including sending photos and videos - we decided to dig out a large trench. We removed as much clay as possible around the area where the trees were being planted. We then laid down a bed of gravel and sand. Grasslands finally got the replacement trees back in stock and we planted them last week. I was hoping they would have honoured the original price for the trees, but a 20% discount was the next best thing. This time we backfilled the trench with high quality loam, and planted them slightly higher creating small mounds around the rootball of the tree. I also invested in the ‘H’ stakes they recommended for heavy trees. Hopefully now we’ve done enough to give the trees the best possible chance of survival. Overall I’m happy with Grasslands and their support. The trees for out of stock for sometime, but eventually came back in stock. My only suggestion would be to give more flexibility to the customer when scheduling a delivery. Especially when they’ve spent a large amount of money with you.”

“Exactly what I wanted to screen the garden and the service was second to none as usual. Delivery was earlier than expected and the driver was very helpful”
