Why choose a Robusta Photinia?

Robusta grows quickly into a dense screen, with vivid red new growth maturing to glossy deep green. Regular clipping keeps a formal hedge tidy, while the evergreen foliage provides privacy and structure throughout the year.

How can I use it in my garden?

• Plant a boundary hedge for quick privacy.

• Screen a fence, driveway or service area.

• Clip a formal hedge with grasses and flowering shrubs in front.

How many trees do I need to form my hedge?This will depend on the height you want your full-grown hedge to be:

1000mm high hedge - plant 600mm apart

2000mm high hedge - plant 1000mm apart

3000mm high hedge - plant 1500mm apart

TIP - If you want your hedge to fill in quicker, plant trees closer together.

Where does it grow best?

Grow in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Mulch and water regularly while establishing; Robusta is drought tolerant and frost hardy once established.

What does it look like through the year?

New foliage emerges vivid red before maturing to glossy deep green, keeping the evergreen screen colourful. Creamy-white flowers can appear in spring.
