when does red tip photinia get new leaves

Question

When does the red tip photinia get new leaves? Our plants were newly planted last August and we had a real hard winter. Now we have no leaves on the plant but it still seems alive.

Answer 1

Since your red tip is otherwise healthy (or seemingly so) this is probably just a matter of having some patience. Delayed leaf-out is common after a hard winter. Plants have their own timetable of readiness when it comes to leafing out.
