Patio Photinia Tree
Photinia × fraseri 'Carré Rouge'
- Few sights are as eye-catching as a photinia come spring, when its newer leaves are a vivid red hue; in the case of this patio tree, it looks kind of like a blazing fireball!
- The leaves eventually go on to take a rich racing green hue, while dainty white flower panicles add another string to this plant's impressive horticultural bow.
- This photinia has been grown as a standard - a clear stem with a bushy ball of foliage at its head. This makes it perfect for both formal planting schemes and paved garden spaces.
- Hardy, versatile and low-maintenance, this is the sort of plant that delivers a lot of bang for not much buck. What's not to like?

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
