Can I prune a Red Robin so that it looks like a ball on a long trunk,  it's 3 years old and 7' tall

    If you mean by pruning into a standard, you can, but will require consistent pruning back throughout the year. As soon as you see new growth further down, you need to remove them.

    I have a large standard photinia red robin which is about 10 years old. It has been covered in flowers during the winter but I have no new shoots & old leaves are just hanging down & looks as though it’s dying. Any suggestions? Should I give it a hard prune?
