Red Robin

Photinia bodinieri is a small, evergreen tree that is grown for its lush and glossy foliage. New growth is red and ages to become dark green which results in a glossy plant with dual colouring through spring. This quick growing evergreen can reach 15 m tall and 4 m wide but can be contained with trimming. Photinia bodinieri is commonly grown as an attractive and dense hedge or specimen tree but is also well suited to being used for shelter and screening.

Photinia bodinieri hedge spacing

The Photinia bodinieri hedge spacing is generally 50 cm between the plants. If you want the hedge to fill in faster, you can shorten the spacing to 40 cm. However, going wider than 50 cm will have two effects. The first is that the gap between the plants at the base will be harder to fill in and this can cause frustration. The second is that the plants will tend to grow wider rather than upward. At a closer spacing the plants compete for light, and in doing so, they push each other upwards. Therefore, The Plant Company recommends a 40-50 cm spacing to achieve an amazing hedge.

What is the growth rate of Photinia bodinieri hedging plants?

The growth rate of Photinia bodinieri depends on where it is positioned and how well it is cared for. In a warm climate with good growing conditions, it will grow to 15 m tall and 4 m wide in about 10-15 years. Where anything impedes the growth of these plants such as drought, wind exposure, cold climates it will grow at a slower rate. While this shrub can grow to 15 m tall, it is often clipped to smaller sizes and often into a hedge. Overall, the growth rate is considered medium relative to other hedging plants.
