Default Substitutes for Red Tip Photinia

I understand the Red Tip Photinias are prone to developing red spot and
should be avoided.

I have gone to several nurseries here in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex
trying to find some other plant that I can use as a formal hedge. All of the
nurseries I have gone to have the Red Tip and claim the ones they sell are
resistant to red spot and other diseases.

Are any of you aware of disease resistant varieties of the Red Tip, and if
not what plant would be a good substitute for a formal hedge that grows fast
and can be maintained at about ten feet?

Thanks,

Shepherd


I live in here too and i go to Wal-mart, loews, home depot. They
guarentee thier plants, they are not expensive, and they don't sell
plants that won't grow here.
