How Do You Transplant Photinia Shrubs?
Photinia shrubs are an attractive evergreen with showy flowers and bright-red fruit. This multi-trunked small tree is often trimmed into a hedge and trained as a shrub. Photinia is used in containers or planters, and can grow successfully in urban areas where the growing conditions are not ideal. They tolerate air pollution, poor drainage, compacted soil and drought. Photinias grow very quickly when young, but growth slows down when they are older. The best condition for a photinia shrub is well-draining soil and full sunlight. Remove weeds and grass from the top of the soil in the area where the photinia is going to be planted. Dig a hole in a sunny location that is three times as wide as the photinia shrub and two times as deep. Tip the pot over and gently remove the photinia shrub from its container. Set the photinia off to the side. Fill the plant pot with sand. Pour it on top of the soil removed from the hole and mix together. This will improve the soil drainage around the photini
