Origin
The Photinia x fraseri 'Red Robin' is one of the many varieties of Photinia and is valued for its decorative appearance. This plant, also known as the Photinia, originates from Southeast Asia and North America. The 'Red Robin' is named after its cultivator, Fraser.

Characteristics
The 'Red Robin' is an evergreen shrub with a long lifespan, which is often used for garden design and landscaping. The plant is characterized by its bright red shoots in the spring, which later in the season change to a dark green colour. The shrub has shiny leaves and produces white clusters of flowers at the end of spring, which attract bees and butterflies. In full size, the 'Red Robin' can reach a height of 4 to 5 meters.

Care
The Photinia x fraseri 'Red Robin' is an easy-to-maintain plant that grows best in full sun or semi-shade. The plant is not particularly demanding of the soil but thrives best in well-draining soil. It is recommended to prune the plant in early spring to stimulate the growth of new, red-coloured foliage. In times of drought, additional watering may be necessary, but overall, the 'Red Robin' is reasonably drought-resistant.
