Photinia serrulata, Chinese Photinia, Chinese Photinia Tree

Photinia serratifolia is a small, evergreen tree that is grown for its lush and glossy foliage. New growth is red and ages to become mid-dark green which results in a glossy plant with dual colouring through spring and summer. This quick growing evergreen can reach 10 m tall and 3 m wide but can be contained with trimming. Photinia serratifolia is commonly grown as an attractive and dense hedge but is also well suited to being used for shelter and screening, and being grown as a specimen tree.

Photinia serratifolia Details

Photinia serratifolia is a small, evergreen tree that is grown for its lush and glossy foliage. New growth is red and ages to become mid-dark green which results in a glossy plant with dual colouring through spring and summer. This quick growing evergreen can reach 10 m tall and 3 m wide but can be contained with trimming. Clusters of small, white flowers adorn the tree in spring. Best results are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site. This is a reasonably hardy plant that will tolerate moderate frost, dry periods, some wind, and most soil conditions, barring extreme wet and dry. Photinia serratifolia is commonly grown as an attractive and dense hedge but is also well suited to being used for shelter and screening, and being grown as a specimen tree. For hedging, space plants 40-50 cm apart.
