Photinia x fraseri 'Pink Marble'

Origin
The Photinia x fraseri 'Pink Marble' is an elegant, evergreen bush originally from Asia. The plant belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is a hybrid, resulting from a cross between Photinia glabra and Photinia serratifolia. The 'Pink Marble' variant is recognised for its unique, variegated leaves.

Characteristics
The Photinia x fraseri 'Pink Marble' is popular for its stunning leaves, which in their early growth stage have a bright red hue that changes to green with cream-coloured spots. The bush grows in a dense, upright form and can reach a height of 1.5 to 3 meters. In the spring, the plant produces small, white flowers, followed by red berries in the autumn.

Care
For optimal growth of the Photinia x fraseri 'Pink Marble', well-drained, fertile soil and a sunny to partially shaded location are required. The bush tolerates pruning well and it is advised to prune it in early spring or after flowering to maintain its shape and size. Protection from frost may be necessary during severe winters. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, promotes the growth and health of the plant.
