So has barry ..

Isn't 'Red Robin' photinia (or 'photinia x fraseri', to be pedantic)?

[burlyshirley]

No. When I googled it, Leucothoe Scarletta is the latin name for Red Robin.

Defo not red robin, we have two of them, nothing like that.
Sorry, don’t know what it is though.

[burlyshirley]

^ Well if it's Leucothoe Scarletta it IS Red Robin.

We have a border of those, all about 4-5ft tall.

It’s difficult to tell from the photo but I agree with Buens photinia link, could be wrong but I don’t think so.

[ladybirder]

[Buenchico]

Far, far too often, Ladybirder ;-)

[Vagus]
