Photinia Black Jack, Black Jack Photinia, Christmas Berry Black Jack

Photinia Black Jack is one of the more popular hedging plants due to its very colourful foliage. New growth is bright red and ages to a dark red colour with a black undertone. The leaves continue to age to become mid-dark green. The result is a multi-coloured plant through spring and summer. This quick growing evergreen can reach 4 m tall and 2 m wide but is commonly trimmed to sizes significantly less than this. Photinia Black Jack is commonly grown as an attractive and dense hedge but is also well suited to being used for shelter and screening, and as a backdrop for smaller plants.
