Photinia × fraseri ‘Red Robin’ – Pleached Standard
Stylish, colourful, and evergreen, Photinia × fraseri ‘Red Robin’ Pleached Standard is a superb way to create privacy, structure, and instant architecture in the garden. With its glossy evergreen leaves and striking red new growth, this pleached form offers a living screen that remains attractive throughout the year.
Trained on a 150cm clear stem with a 100cm high × 120cm wide frame, the foliage forms a neat, flat panel, perfect for screening neighbours, dividing garden rooms, or lining pathways and terraces. Unlike fencing, it softens boundaries naturally while adding seasonal interest.
The foliage is especially eye-catching in spring, when flushes of vivid scarlet-red leaves emerge, maturing to rich, glossy green. Light clipping during summer encourages repeat bursts of colourful new growth, and clusters of small white flowers may also appear in late spring.
Hardy, adaptable, and easy to care for, this pleached Photinia is an ideal choice for modern gardens where both privacy and year-round beauty are important.
