Where Should I Place My Photinia Red Robin Pleached?

The Photinia Red Robin Pleached thrives in sunny locations and requires well-drained soil to avoid waterlogging, which can adversely affect its roots. It performs best in full sunlight to partial sunlight, which helps to sustain its vibrant leaf colours and overall health. Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry spells, to maintain lush and vibrant foliage. Photinias are commonly found in woodlands and are well-suited to planting in shrub borders or as a hedge around your garden. They prefer fertile, well-drained soil and can thrive in full or partial sun.

Growth and Pruning

This robust evergreen typically grows to a height of 6-8 feet. In late spring, it produces clusters of small, white, five-petalled flowers, adding seasonal charm to its structured form. To keep its pleached shape neat and defined, regular pruning is essential. Trim any dead or damaged branches and shape the canopy to maintain the topiary’s formal appearance. A thorough trim in late winter or early spring, combined with occasional touch-ups throughout the year, will help keep the pleached tree in top condition.
