Remarks

Photinia are evergreen shrubs of East Asian origin. The fraseri hybrids were initially selected by Fraser nurseries (Alabama, 1955) and are a spontaneous cross of glabra (Japan) x serrulata (syn serratifolia, China). 'Red Robin' is the first bright colored selection in these hybrids, made in New Zealand in the 70's. 'Camilvy' is a selection of the nurseries Peter Van Lieshout Potcultur BV (Venhorst, Netherlands), named after the names of his girls Camily and Ilvy.

Vigorous photinia forming several times a year young shoots of a darker red than 'Red Robin', with corrugated leaves becoming dark green, well adapted for hedgerows or to form stems because of its acrotone growth.
