Description
Photinia x fraseri ‘Pink Marble’ has year-round interest with white springtime flowers and the marble effect foliage.
When the new leaves emerge in spring, they are a strikingly vivid pink and red, creating quite a display. As the leaves mature, the colour evolves to a glossy, dark green with an ivory-white edge or margin and with the occasional splash of pink and white. Red bronze tinged foliage follows in the autumn and the fruit, shaped like miniature apples, turn red as they ripen. They remain on the branches well into winter, providing food for the birds and butterflies. In winter, the foliage takes on a burgundy hue.
Photinia x fraseri ‘Pink Marble’ responds well to pruning and has a reasonably fast growth rate. Like all Photinias, they are low maintenance that grow in most well-drained soils. They are pollution tolerant and as a result, they do well in urban areas. In terms of aspect, preferably Photinia Pink Marble likes full sun but will also perform in partial shade
