Description

Photinia × fraseri 'Carré Rouge' is a compact and colourful new variety of Photinia. Closely related to the popular Photinia × fraseri 'Red Robin', yet more compact, requires less pruning and features smaller leaves. Young leaves emerge an intense shade of red and transform to a deep glossy green as they mature. The foliage is accompanied by pretty, white flowers which grow in panicles in springtime.

'Carré Rouge' continues to produce new growths throughout the growing season for longer-lasting colour. It's a great low maintenance solution for gardens of all sizes and when grown in a large pot, is also ideal for adding a splash of colour to patios.

Also known as Christmas berry 'Carre Rouge', this hardy evergreen can tolerate partial or dappled shade but prefers a full sun position for the brightest colour. It grows in most draining soils and will reach a height and spread of 2.5 x 2.5 metres in 20 years.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
