Photinia x fraserishrub of the family RosaceaeEtymology: the name Photinia comes from Greek ' photeinos ' which means luminous, referring to the colouring of its foliage.
Hardiness: 6 - 9. Photinia tolerates easily the air pollution and is perfectly adapted to drought. Shape: compact, dense, spread, upright. Height: 2 - 4 m tall. Growth: fast. The Photinia grows more than 1m during the year and requires two prunings a year to keep it at the desired height. Brownish cracked, harsh bark endowed with clearer lenticels. Foliage: evergreen. Big simple leaves, of 10 cm on 4 cm, elliptical to obovate form, with toothed margin, with sharp apex and red petiole. Red Robin variety produces red leaves at birth, which turn burgundy and copper, and become dark green, glossy and leathery glaucous on the underside paler. This alternating rhythm of the seasons. Before falling (because even evergreens eventually fall, but rather that it is every year, among the deciduous species, the fall takes place after two or three years), older leaves turn yellow-red or red dark as the young shoots. Flowers: white to creamy-white, grouped in final corymbs, short clusters or panicles (resemble those of Sorbus); 5 sepals, 5 rounded petals, about 20 stamens. Appearing at the beginning of the spring (April-May). Sweet-scented flowers and nectariferous visited by cetonias gilt and the honeybees. Fruit drupaceous, ovoid or subglobose, almost dry. Use : Photinia grows as well in hedge or insulated. In hedge, it is necessary to prune it regularly, at the beginning of the winter and at the end of spring. Isolated, it makes a nice shrub thanks to its compact foliage. Diseases : the Photinia is susceptible to fire blight causes wilting of the stems, to powdery mildew and leaf spots. Main species :
