Photinia x fraseri ‘Red Robin’ Hedging (Rootballed)
Red Robin Hedging
A colourful evergreen hedge renowned for its brilliant red young foliage, providing year-round screening with striking seasonal colour.
Photinia × fraseri ‘Red Robin’ is one of the most recognisable evergreen hedging plants, valued for the vivid red new growth that appears against its mature glossy green foliage. As the young leaves develop, they gradually deepen to green, creating an attractive contrast of colour across the hedge.
Regular trimming encourages further flushes of colourful new growth, making ‘Red Robin’ an excellent choice where both privacy and ornamental interest are important.
Why Choose Photinia ‘Red Robin’?
Brilliant red young foliage
Evergreen for year-round screening
Dense growth provides good privacy
Attractive glossy mature green foliage
Regular clipping encourages colourful new growth
Responds well to shaping and trimming
Suitable for formal and informal hedging
Excellent combination of screening and ornamental colour
Why Buy Rootballed Photinia ‘Red Robin’?
Rootballed Photinia × fraseri ‘Red Robin’ is field-grown and lifted with a substantial ball of soil retained around its root system.
This allows larger, established plants to be supplied economically and is particularly useful for projects where greater initial height, colour and more immediate screening are required.
Available Sizes
Rootballed Photinia ‘Red Robin’ is available in a range of heights, subject to seasonal nursery availability.
Larger specimens provide greater immediate screening and impact, while smaller sizes can offer a more economical solution for longer hedge runs.
How Many Plants Do I Need?
Plant spacing depends upon the size selected and how quickly you want your hedge to develop into a dense, continuous screen.
Our hedging guide will help you calculate the appropriate number of plants for the length of your proposed hedge.

Root balled hedging is one of the quickest ways to create privacy, structure and definition within a garden. Larger, established plants can provide an immediate sense of enclosure while reducing the time needed for a new hedge to develop into an effective screen. Because root balled hedging can be substantial in both size and weight, careful consideration should be given to delivery access, handling and the route from the delivery point to the final planting position.
Both root balled and bare rooted hedging is covered in this guide.
