What is this tree?


Morning. I’ve just had to remove a dead evergreen tree from my front garden and now have a huge gap alongside my newly rebuilt wall that I want to fill. Further along I have this most gorgeous tree that I love but haven’t a clue what it is! Can anyone please identify this? It’s red pretty much all year but turns a slight silver in autumn. It makes a fabulous contrast to all the green. 0

Calling on @Silver surfer (who is very good at identifying the obscure) to have a look at this.
