Yes you can but it won't grow very big unless you put it into a bigger pot when the roots fill the pot. Make sure that you don't use a bellied pot as you would have to break it to get the plant out.

We had one in the ground near the patio. It got large really quickly and in the end it had to go. Red Robin is really too vigorous for a pot. Suggest you enquire at a good GC about a suitable plant and pot size for your requirements. I totally agree with the advice about pot shape. We had to hose a tree peony out of it's bellied pot, to plant it in the garden.

i agree or look into making it into a bonzei which means pulling it out of its pot every other year etc . you could cut the bottom out of your pot if possible to give the apearance of being in the pot .

No, not the ordinary Photinia Red Robin - but there is one you can grow in a pot. It's called Photinia LITTLE Red Robin, and this one only gets about 3 feet high, yet looks the same as the large one. Might need protection in winter though, specially in a pot.
