Free specialist delivery on qualifying orders: At Harrod Outdoors, we take pride in delivering top-quality plants directly to your doorstep. Our delivery options are tailored to the size and type of plants you order, ensuring they arrive in excellent condition and ready to transform your outdoor space. We offer free specialist delivery on qualifying orders across most of the UK.
Typical lead time – around 3–4 weeks: Most orders take approximately 3–4 weeks to prepare and deliver. This time allows us to carefully source from our extensive range, prepare your plants to our high standards, and ensure everything arrives in peak condition.
Kerbside delivery only: All deliveries are kerbside, meaning your plants will be unloaded at the front of your property (driveway or kerbside) and will not be carried beyond this point. It is your responsibility to move the plants to their final location once delivered.
Safe place required: Please specify a safe place for box, pallet or van deliveries in your order notes. If none is provided, drivers will leave your order where they deem reasonable. Pallet and large tree deliveries require flat, solid access such as tarmac, concrete or brickweave – we cannot deliver onto gravel, shingle, grass or public roads or pathways.
Be available on the day of delivery: It is essential that you are contactable on your provided phone number in case the driver needs to reach you. If access is restricted, no safe place is available, or the driver is instructed not to leave the order, delivery will fail and additional delivery charges will apply or you may need to collect from the local depot.
Plan ahead: We recommend not booking landscapers or gardeners solely based on estimated delivery dates, as occasional delays can occur due to factors beyond our control. For full details, view our Delivery Policy or contact us for advice before ordering.
If you need help selecting the right plants or have specific delivery requirements, our friendly team is here to assist. You can trust us to handle your order with expertise every step of the way. View our Delivery Policy or Contact Us for more information.
Red Robin (Photinia × fraseri ‘Red Robin’) is an evergreen tree or shrub valued for its striking red foliage that emerges in spring and matures to glossy green. Its bright new growth adds vibrant colour to gardens, making it a popular choice for hedging, screening, or as a standalone feature. In late spring, it produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers, further enhancing its ornamental appeal. Its dense foliage and easy-care nature make it a versatile addition to UK gardens.
Red Robin trees can grow up to 6 meters (20 feet) tall with a spread of around 3 meters (10 feet) when left unpruned. As a moderately fast grower, it typically adds 30 cm (1 foot) of growth per year. Its manageable size and adaptability make it suitable for gardens of various sizes, and it can be pruned to maintain a smaller shape if desired.
Red Robin thrives in the UK climate, preferring moist but well-drained soils. It grows well in clay, loam, and sandy soils with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. This tree prefers full sun to partial shade and benefits from a sheltered position to protect its young, red foliage from late spring frosts. It’s a versatile plant that adapts to most garden environments.
Red Robin is a low-maintenance tree that requires minimal pruning. To encourage vibrant new red growth, prune lightly in spring or after flowering, shortening stems by up to 15 cm. Mulching around the base in spring with well-rotted compost or manure helps retain soil moisture and promote healthy growth. It’s important to monitor for pests or diseases and provide good air circulation around the foliage.
Yes, Red Robin is well-suited for smaller gardens. Its size and shape can be easily controlled through regular pruning, and it can be trained as a full standard tree or kept as a compact hedge. Its year-round foliage and bright spring colour make it a fantastic choice for adding interest to limited spaces.
While generally resilient, Red Robin can be affected by leaf spot, powdery mildew, or aphids. To prevent these issues, ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering. If necessary, treat with a suitable fungicide or insecticide. Regularly removing affected leaves and maintaining the tree’s overall health can also reduce the likelihood of problems.
