Trees - ornamental, up to 3m
This includes some of the larger shrubs which are often treated as trees. If space is really limited consider weeping forms, sometimes grafted, these have a strong characterful effect^. Candidates for this would be Cotoneaster 'Hybridus Pendulus' or the unusual Caragana arborescens 'Pendula'. For small trees of character consider the hawthorns, the smaller magnolias, cotoneasters with their spreading arching growth habit, the smaller ornamental cherries or crab apples and multi-stemmed Amelanchier.
