| History | This hybrid Photinia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted in Kulnurra, NSW Australia. It originated from open pollination in 2000 of Photinia ‘Red Robin’ with an unknown male parent. The cultivar Parsur’ was discovered and selected by the inventor John Robb in 2001 as a single plant within the progeny, in an outdoor field of the plants that originated in a greenhouse and were transplanted outdoors. The new Photinia differed from plants of its female parent in the following characteristics: More lateral branches, a more upright habit, darker, shorter, elliptic-slightly obovate leaves rather than the oblanceolate shaped leaves, of ‘Red Robin’. darker leaves than ‘Red Robin’. Photinia glabra ‘Parsur’ was issued U.S. Plant Patent #19,390 in October of 2008. |
