    Agree with John, Portugal Laurel, Prunus Luisitanica 'Variegata' is a variegated variery much better for ornamental use and winter colour.

    Photinia - red robin

    Definitely red robin.

    Another goody is Australian bottle brush. If you clip off the lower branches it will concentrate its efforts on a really good high spread. Ideal for topping fences for privacy and extremely low maintenance

    It will also give the tree impression...
