    Red-tipped Photinia and Christmasberry are 2 different plants. California lists Christmasberry as toxic to humans. Photinia x fraseri is not toxic according to UCanr.edu

    In this case, if you want them to grow out on top, you will want to cut off all of the growth near the bottom. Take care when doing this though, as you only want to cut off about ten percent at one time... then wait a day or two and do it again.

    This article will guide you on the general care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/photinia/growing-red-tip-photinia.htm

    We don't recommend brands. Check with your local garden center.

    This depends on how tall they are now, and their age. Can you include a photo? This can help me to determine their age, and if they will grow anymore.

    I see no issue with planting in this location. You will have the best success in spring time, but they can survive an early fall transplant as well. Make sure to keep them pruned, as they are susceptible to disease if they are left overgrown.
