Can someone tell me what is the tallest size you can reasonably expect to
find for a Red Tip Photinia? Would those be 15 gallon plants?

My landscaper is installing a hedge and put in plants that are only about 3
ft tall. I really wanted taller plants but he is insisting those would be
root bound. Fairly confused at this point.


It will grow quite fast to 10-15 ft. I used to have Photinia and was
constantly trimming it because of its fast growth.
