Planting Instructions
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Red Robin tolerates most soil types. Space plants 1–1.5m apart for a continuous pleached screen. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
Water regularly during the first growing season. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring. Trim lightly after the spring flush of red growth to maintain the pleached form and encourage repeat colour. Tie in new growth to the supporting frame as needed. Mulch around the base to retain moisture.

Wildlife & Ecological Notes
Red Robin produces clusters of small white flowers in late spring which attract bees and other pollinators. The dense evergreen canopy provides year-round shelter and nesting cover for garden birds. Pleached specimens are particularly effective at providing elevated screening and habitat structure in formal garden settings.
