I understand it's also called "Red Robin". The variety I've got is
"Fraserii".

Photinia x fraseri 'Red Robin' is a variety of Photinia. It looks wonderful
in spring when the brightly coloured shoots are coming through.
The downside is that it is vigiorous. My 7 year old has to lopped
almost annually to keep it under 7 feet - but this does produce the best
display of new red leaved shoots!
