If you encounter this shrub when it is sending out new growth, you will do a double take. The fiery red foliage is absolutely stunning. Of course, once the leaves mature to green, it is nothing to balk at either. Red Fury™ Japanese photinia (also labeled as Dynamo Red™) is a fast-growing shrub with purpose that makes an excellent hedge, screen, or evergreen backdrop. Its hardiness range, heat tolerance, and drought tolerance also make it a good choice for gardeners in warm and arid regions. Red Fury™ is reported as having greater resistance to photinia leaf spot and denser growth than similar photinias. If you find you want to snip it, it responds well to training and shearing.
