Introducing the beautiful and versatile Photinia villosa, also known as Christmas berry or Oriental Photinia. This deciduous shrub can grow up to 5 meters tall and is native to Japan, Korea, and China. Its dark green, shiny leaves turn yellow, bronzy, and red in the fall, making it a stunning display plant. The 1/3-inch bright red fruit is a great source of food for birds. This large shrub can also be trained and pruned to grow as a small tree. However, take note that it is susceptible to fireblight. The wood is hard and heavy, which makes it a suitable choice for making furniture and other small articles. Order your Photinia villosa now and add it to your garden for a touch of elegance and functionality.
