Photinia 'Red Robin' Flowers

Ooh lovely! I didnt know they flowered? Must check mine lol

Hi Pix...not normally now, this will be the third time this year for this one and it's scented ...:)))

I did`nt know they flowered either,mine is only a young plant so a few years to wait I think.

I've never seen one in flower. What a lovely surprise....I hope one day mine will flower. I have a Stransvaesia Davidiana...which is now renamed Photinia Davidiana..so it must be from the same family..and it flowers, but only sparsely. In fact, I think it has a berry on it too! :))

Strange time to start - I will also have a look on mine tomorrow - I love Red robins

. In fact, I think it has a berry on it too! :))
---------------------------------------------------
You're right Karen it does have a few small berries too..

I would say that ours is approx 4 years old including the time it took to grow a 5 litre size potted one...

I didn't know they had berries Sue

They are quite tiny things Paul...hardly noticeable....

No mine isnt flowering..I think its 5yrs old

Hi Pix, I wouldn't say this flowering now is usual, it's just the mildness if the weather here...

Well its nice eh? :)))))))

Was it on December, Crissue? I never saw my Photinias blooming...

Mine are just starting to open now :o)

Hi Kat, Hi Annella,

Since posting that pic in December Kat, we have one or two more branches of flowers appearing, right at the top of the Shrub/tree, it is over 6ft tall now...:)))
It's nice to have the Flowers now Annella I hope it doesn't spoil it for for the usual flowering time April/May.

Crissue, are you aware of anything like time-gap between planting and first blooming of Photinia? I planted my P. 4 years ago, it is almost 180 cm high, but haven´had flowers yet. I even did not know that it has flowers!

Hi Kat, I'm sorry I only know that it is mature Shrubs that are supposed to flower, but that the flowers are sterile...I don't remember ours flowering the first year or so...I would think at about three or so years maybe....
