Honeybee,Just another thought. The graceful and easy to control silver birch. It has beautiful bark all the year round, looks dainty and delicate all year, makes the most wonderful sound in a breeze and, provided you top it, will not grow too high so that it doesn't dominate. Only disadvantage I have come across is that it sheds bits of branches during winter months - just a matter of picking them up. Mean twiglets really because their branches are so delicate. More like deadheadings from an herbacious plant.What a lovely idea. Everyone who has enough space should be able to have a little tree! :D
