Working in nurseries six years in central Arizona, I have this to add about the red-tipped photinia: It does seem to need occasional additions of iron and magnesium sulphates to help it with chlorosis in our very alkaline soils. Extra water, as long as drainage is good, is helpful too! I've seen some plants suffer more, however, in all day summer sun. In such cases, I recommend silverberry, Elaeagnus x ebbingei or E. pungens "Fruitlandii".
