Photinia
Photinia produce small, apple-like fruits which are eaten by birds, although some varieties are toxic. They are mostly cultivated either as an ornamental tree or large shrub. The name Photinia comes from the Greek word for "shiny," due to the glossy appearance of the leaves of this genus.

Soil Type
Water: Photinia thrives with moderate rainfall and requires watering once every 1-2 weeks. It prefers evenly moist soil without being waterlogged, benefiting from outdoor cultivation. As an evergreen, photinia maintains consistent water needs throughout the year, unlike some species that reduce watering during dormancy.
Propagation: Photinia is propagated through seeds, semi-hardwood cuttings, and layering. Essential factors include well-draining soil, humidity, and temperatures of 65°F-75°F (18°C-24°C). Use rooting hormone for cuttings from disease-free plants. Cuttings require 4-8 weeks to root in a moist, indirect light environment.
