Photinia fraseri: characteristics and care

El Photinia fraseri, conocido popularmente como fotinia (variedades ‘Red Robin’, ‘Carré Rouge’, ‘Magical Volcano’), es un arbusto perenne de origen híbrido que destaca por su vistoso brote nuevo de color rojo intenso, que contrasta con el follaje adulto verde oscuro y brillante, aportando color durante todo el año.

Its dense foliage and good response to pruning make it a highly valued option for both formal hedges and isolated specimens in ornamental gardens.

It tolerates moderate drought well once established and adapts to various soil types, provided it has good drainage.

At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
