Vivid Arts 18cm Robin on Tree Planter Resin Ornament - BG-TP01-F

Product Information

The vast majority of photinias, including ‘Red Robin,’ will do best in full sun, otherwise in partial shade. Soil that is light, friable, moderately fertile, and free-draining is best for photinias in containers. While the biggest varieties will become too large, bulky and unwieldy for any container, you could certainly grow one of the intermediate-sized varieties in a large container, pruning it regularly after it reaches the desired size.

Lift the container and hold it horizontally and at the same time, try to prise out the soil ball with a spade and push it outward through the drainage holes.Where the plant is only partially affected the solution is to remove spottedleaves and burn them as soon as they are noticed. Where the damage is moresevere you have two choices:

If the soil is heavy or is not free draining addlots of well rotted compost to the area and dig it in well. Follow the steps below to ensure your Photinia Red Robin is planted correctly and in the best position:

leaf node toleave a 8cm / 3in cutting. The cutting should be semi-ripe whichmeans not new soft growth and neither hard old growth. Somewhere inbetween is best. Firstly, the container should be large enough to accommodate your photinia variety at its given stage of maturity. For these products we offer a delivery service Local to Trowell Garden Centre, delivering with our own transport. If you opt to grow a largeish, spreading variety in a container, a planter would be very suitable. Compost Requirements For those of you who prefer a small shrub then pruning can be done any timebetween March and mid July. We wouldn’t advise pruning after late July becausethe young shoots which appear after pruning may well be soft and easily damagedby early frosts. We would not prune these shrubs until they reach 3 or moreyears old.
