Hedging plants will have branches that start low to the ground and can be bushes or feathered trees. A bush has a very short central stem/trunk and starts to branch out from that point. A feathered tree has a single central stem/trunk and has side branches on most of it. It could be argued that bush forms have a more dense lower section initially and feathered trees have a more pleasing look.

Root Types Summary

Consisting of about 50 species, Photinia are part of the Rose family along with Cotoneaster. They typically have glossy evergreen foliage and brightly coloured new growth, with all the varieties we offer being no exception. The most commonly used variety in gardens is Photinia × fraseri 'Red Robin', with the superb colour and texture all year round making it suited to being used as a feature tree or screening.

If the area you are going to plant them in has grass or weeds, the ground should be sprayed off a week or so before planting to avoid any competition. To help prevent too many weeds appearing after you have planted your hedge, I find it a good idea to put your grass clippings or mulch around the plants as this smothers out the weeds and helps prevent the plants drying out.
