The Chinese Photinia can be grown as a medium or large shrub, a multi-trunk small tree (with lower branches removed), or a single-trunked small tree (with lower branches removed). This is a very tall specimen (note car to the left) that does not have as many trunks as naturally occurs.. (San Antonio. Tx.)

This photo shows: the deep green (lighter under)serrated leaves; the new growth (apple green to pinkish to bronze, red to reddish-brown twigs); a red leaf that occurs sporadically; bloom clusters and a few of the orangy-red fruit that remain all winter. This is a multi-trunked specimen.

The showy, flat, dense, up to 8 inch, white flower clusters (panicles) at the branch tips appear in March in warm regions, April or May in more northern regions. The
blooms, which attract bees, are followed by 1/4-inch red berries in clusters in the fall which attract birds.

Birds will devour these berries very soon. Bombs Away! On my truck! Good thing it's red.
