    Hi see here for a bit of info on your Leucothoe keiskei "Royal Ruby"( Keiskei Fetterbush )

    no real need to prune but here is some pruning info relevant, if you feel you must (it is very slow growing)
    http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/pruning1.asp?session=hr51ew45nqqfnz553engogfg
    Prune your Photinia fraserii "Red Robin" in early summer, but only if necessary - (they are not fantastically fast growing & Leucothoe is even slower) back to just above a pair of leaves with secateurs.
    Hope this helps
