Photinia probably

Scrimps

They look like photinia red robins

adonis

Definitely photinia red robins, they really look nice when trimmed at the right time, (like a lot of shrubs)

google pictures to see what I mean.

Thanks people, yes they are definately Red Robins (Photinia).  Next question, any ideas where to buy 2 large (2m tall approx) Red Robins online?  We prefer the 'lillipop' style, with the single, trimmed trunk and the ball at the top (just because it will suit our garden more)

Can't answer question as to where to buy large ones, but they grow very quickly so in these lock down days buy a small one & train it? Half joking BTW but maybe worth looking into

My neighbour has one, and the very pretty blossom stinks, be warned

You do a search for mature plants, photinia and see what happens. I've just found some, and they're 150 a pop..You'll be looking at paying out at least that, maybe more, depending on where you are and delivery.

Small ones, to train yourself, are avalailable from Gardening Express - https://www.gardeningexpress.co.uk/photinia-red-robin?queryID=292d95ba705a495e1192698b3db815c7&objectID=14230&indexName=magento_live_default_products - for a bit less! I've bought from them before & been very happy, though I'm still trying to rehome about 50 of the "10" dahlia tubers in our last bargain box! (Was supposed to be 10 x peonies, 10 x lilies, 10 x gladioli & 10 x dahlias. Got 10 each of the first two, about 30 glads and heaven only knows how many dahlia tubers, but we've planted over 20, given about 10 away & still have half a box! And yes, they do come up...)

Grows easi!y and fast from cuttings. Ask the neighbour.... from a distance, of course!

Wise words, a search on this forum could also be useful.
