Description

Featuring beautiful foliage that starts out a bold red color and changes to a deep green as it matures, the lovely Red Tip Photinia Frazeri evergreen shrub offers a striking way to add some color and style to your landscape. Blooming in the Spring with small white flowers that produce charming red fruits that last into Winter, you’ll love the look of this delightful shrub all year long. The Red Tip Photinia prefers living in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade, make sure to plant it in well-drained soil so it isn’t too wet which may affect its growth. The most important part of planting the Red Tip Photinia is knowing that pruning it is absolutely essential to its ability to thrive; you have to provide enough room around the leaves for air movement to be possible or it’s susceptible to a disease known as photinia disease.

Shipping & Returns

Shipping:

Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.

When to Ship:

We can ship out plants at anytime of the year pruned or not pruned, cold or not cold. Each plant’s durabilty is different so we recommend having them shipped in their designated season but we will still ship your plant to you earlier if you choose so.

Returns:

Because plants are perishable they cannot be returned without prior permission. We work hard to ensure all plants arrive healthy, but on rare occasions issues with the plant health upon delivery do arise.

Every single shipped plant is healthy upon departing our facility but if a plant is received in poor health contact us immediately so that we can assess the problem and work on saving the plant. We will first need a photo of the plant to start a claim. If we determine your plant cannot be recovered we will send you a replacement immediately. If notified of the plants health within 4 days we will send a replacement 100% free of charge.

If you determine the plant not to be healthy 4 days after delivery you can contact us and we will issue a 50% store credit.

30 days after delivery we cannot be held responsible for the current health of the plant.

    This Red Tip is more of a tree than a bush. It will grow up to 15-20 feet tall

    A red tip photinia (Photinia x fraseri) typically grows at a rate of about 1 to 2 feet per year under optimal conditions. With regular watering, good soil, and sufficient sunlight, it can reach its full size of 10 to 12 feet tall and wide in approximately 3 to 5 years.

  • Will the red tip thrive in the houston TX area

    Yes, the red tip photinia (Photinia x fraseri) can thrive in the Houston, TX area. It is well-suited to the warm, humid climate of USDA Zones 7-9, and it grows well in full sun to partial shade.

  • Can this variety be used as a hedge? What is the suggested spacing between plants for a hedge? Thanks.

    Yes, Red Tip Photinia (Photinia x fraseri) is commonly used as a hedge due to its dense growth and red new foliage. For a hedge, space plants 4-6 feet apart for proper coverage and airflow, reducing disease risk.

  • Hello. I would like to plant this to create a privacy hedge in the front of my house between 4-5 feet tall. Would these grow into that? How would I figure out how many i would need to create a very dense hedge?

    Red Tip Photinia (Photinia x fraseri) can grow 10-15 feet tall, but with regular pruning, you can maintain them at 4-5 feet for a dense hedge.

    To determine how many you need: Spacing: Plant them 3-4 feet apart for a thick hedge. Formula: Measure the total length of your hedge area and divide by 3 or 4 feet to get the number of plants needed.

    For example, for a 20-foot hedge: At 3-foot spacing → 7 plants. At 4-foot spacing → 5 plants

    Tighter spacing creates a faster, denser hedge. Regular pruning helps maintain shape and density.

  • how wide do these get?

    Red Tip Photinia (Photinia x fraseri) can grow 10-15 feet wide at maturity if left unpruned. Regular pruning helps maintain a desired width.
