Handsome, glossy foliage and attractive fruits and flowers make photinia trees a popular choice for gardens across the UK. Discover our selection of beautiful photinias and advice on how to care for them. With UK-wide delivery and excellent customer service, find your perfect tree online today.
Part of the rose family (Rosaceae), photinia trees encompass around 50 species of beautifully ornate plants. Known for their glossy foliage, the name comes from the Greek word for'shiny': ‘photeinos’. Despite its Grecian name, this species originates from East Asia, including Indonesia, China and Japan.
With their vibrant, evergreen leaves, homeowners can enjoy year-round texture and colour. These trees thirst for full sun or partial shade and are best kept out of cold, windy conditions. They require minimal maintenance and benefit from annual pruning in the spring.

Varieties We Offer
Red Robin Photinia (Photinia x fraseri): When in bud, the leaves of the Red Robin transform into ruby-red tips—hence the name. The gorgeous texture and transformative colours of the leaves makes this a popular choice. Ideal for screening, these trees grow up to seven metres tall.
Photinia Robusta Compacta: When buying for the front of your home, we recommend a smaller, more compact tree to add a smart finishing touch that requires minimal maintenance. At Olive Grove, we sell these as a pair—perfect additions for your front door.
Multi-stem Red Robins: For the ultimate statement piece for your garden, why not plant a multi-stem variety? It adds an extra ornate dimension.
