Photinia x fraseri Magical Volcano - Compacta - Metal Frame/Espalier - Height 150cm Width 100cm - 55lt

The Photinia fraseri 'Magical Volcano', espaliered on a metal frame, presents a striking horticultural spectacle. This particular variety is renowned for its vibrant foliage, which undergoes a dramatic color transformation throughout the seasons. Initially, the young leaves emerge in fiery shades of red and orange, reminiscent of a volcanic eruption, hence the name 'Magical Volcano'. As they mature, the leaves gradually transition to a lush, deep green, offering a dynamic visual experience.

Espaliering, a traditional form of garden art, involves training the plant to grow flat against a structure, in this case, a metal frame. The frame, measuring 150cm in height and 100cm in width, serves both as a support and a guide for the plant's growth. This method maximizes space, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or for creating decorative wall features.

The Photinia's adaptability to espaliering highlights its robust nature and versatility. Regular pruning and training are essential in maintaining the desired shape and size, ensuring that the plant remains healthy and vibrant. The espaliered Photinia fraseri 'Magical Volcano' is not just a plant; it's a living piece of art, offering a unique blend of horticultural skill and natural beauty.
