Problem solving
Can anyone help with identification of this particularly attractive photinia please? Usual divergence in colour, but with lovely feathery leaves which themselves are variegated. Its currently about 5ft tall.

I think it could well be. One of our neighbours has one.

I think it looks more like Pink Crispy which has a general splash type of variegation throughout the leaf rather than at the leaf edge:

Wirral. Sandy, free draining soil.

Yes it's Pink Crispy as
@Plantminded
says.
I have one growing in a large pot. Grows quickly, new leaves are pink then age to a marbled green.
Slowly building a wildlife garden, in a new build in East Yorkshire.
