Photinia robusta

Photinia robusta, or Robusta Photinia, is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its dense, glossy dark green foliage and vibrant red new growth, adding striking color contrast year-round. It typically grows 3–5 meters tall and 2–3 meters wide, making it ideal for privacy screens, hedges, or as a specimen plant.

This bushy, upright shrub produces small white flowers in spring, followed by red fruit clusters. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it requires low to moderate maintenance, with regular pruning encouraging its signature red flush. Drought-tolerant once established, it benefits from watering during dry spells, especially when young.
