Where to site Your Photinia x fraseri 'Pink Marble' Half Standard

The Photinia x fraseri 'Pink Marble' thrives in full sun to partial shade, where its colourful foliage can be appreciated to its fullest. It should be planted in well-drained, fertile soil to prevent waterlogging, which can negatively impact root health. Consistent watering is important, especially during dry periods, to keep the plant healthy and maintain its vibrant appearance.
