Discover the elegance of Photinia serratifolia var. serratifolia, also known as Taiwanese Photinia. A stunning evergreen shrub or small tree, this member of the rose family brings a touch of the exotic to your garden with its lush, leathery leaves and captivating growth. Ideal for larger designs, it can reach a majestic height of 20-35 feet, making it perfect for use as a specimen or in a large hedge. Taiwanese Photinia flourishes in full sun to partial shade, preferring well-drained, medium moisture soils, and is winter hardy to USDA Zone 6. Once established, it demonstrates impressive drought tolerance; however, avoid wet conditions and alkaline soils for optimal growth.

In spring, be delighted by its showy, five-petaled white flowers, clustered in terminal corymbose panicles, followed by spherical berries that transition from green to red to brownish-purple, adding year-round interest. While the flowers may have an unpleasant aroma, they are visually striking. Notably, this species is resistant to photinia leaf spot disease, offering peace of mind in a broad range of climates. Embrace the unique beauty and robust nature of Photinia serratifolia, and transform your landscape today.
