Hi Derek, this is detail of the Red Robin leaves. They look similar to Pieris, but Pieris is just 60 cm high bush and mine is 2,5 metres high (another photo).

Really? I thought Pieris is just middle-sized bush.

Hi Katarina, there are 7 species of Pieris, the smallest 1 only grows to 3" and spreads about 30" but very slowly, the others vary in height from about 2ft up to about 12ft, and varying spreads, so they're not really small to medium shrubs, Derek.

Hi Katarina, yes that is Photinia, you're quite right, but Pieris japonica can get to 12 ft tall, with a spread of 10 ft, it must just have been the angle of the photo, Derek.
