This is a very old Photinia in our garden. It's probably about 60 years
old and though Ray was told the name a long time ago, he can't recall it
now. If anyone can hazard a guess at its id, we'd be grateful. I like it
a LOT more than P Red Robin because I like its rusty colour more.

Photinia 'Redstart'? It's reputed to be less fiery.
I don't think so, though thanks, Spider. The one we have is pretty old,
admittedly, but I don't think P Redstart gets large enough, even so.
