Red weed

Someone gave MrB this plant awhile back and it's beginning to grow nicely. We just don't know what it is.

Sorry, have no clue. I think "red weed" is a great name!

It's hard to give a positive ID from a photo, Blueberry - but could be Red tip Photinia/Photinia fraseri - you can check google images to see what you think.

Red tips are rather large Chinese trees frequently grown here for hedges. This plant wants to be tall so will need pruning if you want it to stay shrub-size close to a house wall.

Annie, it sure does look like a positive ID on this shrub. Thanks!
