  Looks similar to my strawberry tree, arbutus unedo, with the new leaves finely serrated and tipped in red, but mine doesn’t have the red veining so maybe not...

  Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.

  Hello All,

  Thanks for the answers and you are right.  A neighbour called into to see me and being a good gardener knew right away what it is, he has one.  Escallonia Glowing Embers 2018.
