PHOTINIA x fraseri 'Red Robin'

Evergreen shrub with brilliant red young foliage. Upright bushy large shrub, ideal for hedging. Suits most soils, tips may get frosted with a late frost. Care of Topiary Frames Train new growth in to the framework, when there are no gaps in the frame then trim annually with topiary shears or hedge-cutters in early or late summer to keep specimen in shape. Faster growing species may need to be trimmed twice or more each season. Fertiliser such as Growmore can be applied once a year in the spring if desired, to help maintain the plant's vigour and appearance. Topiary can be grown in pots or containers but you need to make sure the pot is big enough for the specimen, and is well weighted to prevent it from falling over if the container has dried out, or there are high winds. The compost will need to be refreshed every 2 to 3 years. Topiary can suffer from Pests & Diseases. Look out for any tell-tale signs such as damaged leaves, adult moths, caterpillars, sooty moulds etc., and treat appropriately.
