    Picture quiz time. Can anyone help me identify these plants? Just moved into a new house.

    Same as first one.Seems to be struggling. Might have needed watering in the summer when no one was living there.

    Pic 3 looks like Escallonia
    Pic 4 looks similar to Prosthantera
    Pic 5 is a variety of Pittisporum

    Spot on rje. Pulled back all the grass around it and discovered it still had a label on which I could just about make out "photinia fraseri". Yeah it seems under the weather alright. I wonder did our dry summer do it? Hopefully it will survive till the spring?

    It's a funny year alright, but you do get them in flower from late Sept on, depending on variety. When I used to sell them in the garden centre, they were a great source of winter colour for impulse buys!

    cut them back as far as you dare clean vegetation and give a good mulch of farm yard compost and sea weed
