Photinia x fraseri ‘Magical Volcano’

Pretty half standards to provide year round colour. The new growth on this hardy and evergreen shrub is a flaming red, maturing to green in the summer. The leaves are noticeably toothed, flowers are white and red berries may follow.

Position in sun or shade, most soils and aspects. Clip regularly to maintain shape.

N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.

As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
