I ordinarily don't care for photinia...usually clipped into 'square boxes'....boooring.
But I always marvel at this hedge..every time I pass it. If we do another house, I will try to find a way to work in a large hedge of this. Of course, I think it would look best with a white cottage, but.....
It's so frou-frou, frilly, feminine, floriferous with gay abandon.
These are never pruned, doubt if they ever have been...easily 12 x 12 ft. Probably more. The pic does not capture the subtle overall coloring that I favor...reddish / pink / beige....
