Chocolate coloured and toothed leaves : an original foliage with this new Photinia.
The originality of the foliage brings a revival to the Photinia. The leaf blade is ondulated and finely toothed. The young shoots, copper at first, take on the unusual chocolate shade, and then turn dark green.
This cultivation, tested in nurseries for several years, performs well: it branches and develops well in containers, its growth is good. Hardy, CRUNCHY® keeps its leaves in winter and has a good resistance to powdery mildew.
It is therefore recommended for hedges, with or without clipping.
