Photinia serratifolia (syn. Photinia serrulata), commonly called Taiwanese photinia[2] or Chinese photinia is a flowering shrub or tree in the Rosaceae family of flowering plants, found in mixed forests of China, Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India. It grows typically 4–6 m (13–20 ft), sometimes up to 12 m (39 ft), tall.[3] Its leaves are toxic due to the presence of cyanogenic glycosides.[4]
