Short description

PHOTINIA x fraseri 'Cassini' Evergreen shrub with foliage that starts bright pink, then turns blue-green with white variegation with a pink edge. Best planted in full sun. Height 2.5 - 4m Care of Topiary Standards Trim annually with topiary shears or hedge-cutters in early or late summer to keep specimen in shape. Faster growing species may need to be trimmed twice or more each season. Suckers and unwanted branches can also be removed from the stems. Fertiliser such as Growmore can be applied once a year in the spring if desired, to help maintain the plant's vigour and appearance.

Look out for any tell-tale signs such as damaged leaves, adult moths, caterpillars, sooty moulds etc., and treat appropriately.
