Red Robin – The Most Beautiful Hedge There Is

This is for those who need to be more knowledgeable about hedge varieties. Red Robin is the most stunning hedge variety, bar none. With its gorgeous green foliage topped by a plume of fire engine red leaves, there is nothing quite as beautiful.

A healthy Red Robin hedge instantly enhances any outdoor space or outer property border with ease and unsurpassed glam.

Tough As Nails

Red Robin is one of the most rigid and resilient hedges available today. As a result, it does very well in dry and windy conditions once it gets established.

It’s Best To Plant Larger

Younger-grade Red Robin plants under one meter tall sometimes struggle with frost and strong winds if not protected. A windbreak of some sort is effective at preventing damage. However, high winds can often burn the tips of the new growth on young Red Robin, turning the tips black.

Thus eventually killing the plant from the top down if this damage is left once it appears. Unfortunately, many people unknowingly destroy their plants making the short trip home from the nursery they purchased them from. Don’t transport them in an uncovered trailer. We have seen this happen many times over the years we have been in business.

Planting Into Clay

Red Robin is also tolerant of clay-rich soils, which is a bonus given how many people have clay soil. There are a few tricks when planting your plants into clay soils. Clay soils require the help of a couple of essential additives you can find at your local garden supply center.

Firstly Red Robin genuinely loves quality compost. Add to the hole before planting the plant. Once planted and staked, place compost around the base of the plant, and an ideal amount is at least one hundred millimeters in depth.

Compost Is King

This top dressing of compost will work down into the roots and the surrounding soil. Subsequently, this aids the Red Robin in providing essential micronutrients to the ground every time you water your plants. Here is a pro tip. Add more every time you notice that the organic compost you spread underneath has disappeared.

Keep On Composting Your Red Robin

Rinse and repeat this process five times while the plants are juveniles. It is the only way you will be able to break up the clay-ridden ground over the long term. It works an absolute treat almost every time without fail. More importantly, they love organic compost.

Dolomite Lime Can Really Help

The second factor that can massively help grow and establish your Red Robin is a side dressing of dolomite lime. Lime itself is an excellent fertilizer used the world over. It also balances the PH in the soil and also assists in helping aerate the ground beneath your plants.

More air always equates to faster growth. You will end up with soil rich in organic matter and minerals using a quality fertilizer and lime. As you continue this soil care process, this clay will slowly break up.

Excellent Growth Rate

Red Robin can grow and form a quality hedge within quite a short time. However, our clients want their privacy back and their hedge to take off as quickly as possible. In this respect, achieving our client’s desired privacy/growth objectives in the shortest time is a fantastic option.

Thicker Than Most

Another reason these Hedges have risen in popularity recently is that they grow into such a dense, thick hedge. They subsequently prevent dogs and other animals from entering the property from outside. They also prevent dust and rubbish from blowing in and onto your section.

Red Robin will also grow up to five meters in height. This makes it the ultimate solution for those people wanting to block out neighbors or a new build quickly. Few hedges can achieve this feat, so planting it is the best choice if you need privacy quickly.

Red Robins Beautiful Redness

And finally. Out of all of the hedging options available in todays plant market, there is nothing as vibrantly stunning than the colour of a nice Red Robin hedge in all its glory. When fully established they are real eye catchers standing out to be noticed while other hedges in the street quietly blend in.

Red Robin And Religion

Red Robin has always been a popular choice within our local Indian and middle eastern community here in NZ due to its bright red plumage. They will often use red plants in many of their prayer ceremonies and traditional practices so they will naturally gravitate towards the Red Robin hedging when choosing a hedge for this very reason and we love respecting and supporting the needs of our local ethnic community.

Just Do A Little Research

Finally, if you are not sure that Red Robin is the right hedge for your property I strongly urge you just to do a little more research into this beautiful variety of hedging as I am sure you will discover that this type of hedge will definitely tick all you requirement boxes when it comes to selecting which hedge is the best for your situation.
