photinia fraseri
I have got a photinia which is 9 ft high by 6 ft wide, it is on the right
hand side looking out of my conservatory,4 ft from the fence & 15 ft from the conservatory.My garden is 20 ft wide.In the RHS encyclopaedia it says it grows to 15 ft by 15 ft,how long would it take to achieve this size & can it be pruned to keep it to a size, I was happy to keep it at.I bought this plant for £70 from my local garden centre. Thanks Keith,UK. |

How long? About 20 minutes in my experience, if left unpruned. OTOH, pruning seems to encourage even faster new growth. Pruned/sheared regularly, they are sometimes used for large hedges here. Quite a pretty effect with new 'red tip' growth constantly emerging. Around here (SE Virginia) they grow about 3' a year. YMMV, as we have long, hot summers. |
