Continuing the seasonal theme...Photinia, "Christmas Berry".
(Evergreen shrub.)
Planting: Autumn to spring.
Flowering: April to May. It is the red leaf shoots, rather than the tiny white flowers, that make it so readily identifiable.
Aspect: Sun or partial shade.
Hardiness: Hardy, but avoid autumnal pruning.
Notes: The berries are consumed by thrushes, waxwings and starlings.
