Photinia Glabra Rubens, also known as the Red-Leaf Japanese Photinia, is a shrub or small tree that is native to Japan, Korea, and China. It is a popular ornamental plant grown for its stunning reddish-bronze foliage.
This plant can reach a height of up to 6mt tall and has a spread of 3-5mt wide. Its leaves are dark green and glossy during the growing season but turn red in the fall and winter, providing a beautiful display of color in the landscape. In the spring, the plant produces small white flowers that are followed by red berries in the fall.
Photinia Glabra Rubens is relatively easy to grow and prefers a well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is tolerant of a wide range of soil types and pH levels. Regular watering is essential during the growing season, but the plant is drought-tolerant once established.
Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to control the size and shape of the plant. It's important to maintain good air circulation around the plant and avoid overhead watering.
Will benefit from feeding twice per year with a complete plant food and liquid fertilizer.
