My red robin has a good number of the leaves turning black, and are crispy as if they have been burnt, when you touch them they just crumble in your fingers, its been in the border about 3 years.
I have a Red Robin. Been in the garden for years. But now seems to have died. The leaves have dried up. Scraped the trunk and is still showing green. What do I have to do to get the scrub up and running again. And any idea why it has done this.
It sounds as though it's dead or dying. I don't know why. Drowning has been responsible for some deaths this last winter, I've had some otherwise unexplained losses.
I doubt if it can be revived. Green under the bark isn't proof of life, only that there was life until recently.
I've recently moved to a newly built house 8 months ago... and in my garden i have Photinia Red Robin plants (2- 3 ft) to perform an hedge in the not to distant future. Could anyone tell me why the leaves have not turned red yet ? or are they just to young ? Sorry new to the garding game.
I have a red robin and the main stem as been broken of with the snow at the base what is the best thing to get some regrowth from the base.or am a best to replace.
Have just read back through this thread and the Aztec Pearl I spoke about so lovingly is no more, having died on me, and I have hacked my Photinia really hard as it was too big and losing its charm. Now responding well. Just for info.

Can anyone offer any advice ?

Hi Tom
I thought they started red then turned greener later but I haven't got one, just seen them around.
If you don't get an answer on this thread start a new one. Those who know may not return to an old thread

That's right. The new leaves are red, then later, now, they are green.
