I have several red tipped photinias,some are trimmed as a hedge and three were allowed to grow to tree form. They are evergreen in my area. The only problem that I have had with the trees is that they produce tons of red berries. The robins and mocking birds like the berries and they leave droppings on my deck. But it is only a couple of weeks until they have eaten all of the berries. Tree form may be achieved by trimming up the branches. The photo is of one of the photinias.
