Ornamental tree suggestions please

by 8 years ago

Hi all,

Hoping for some inspiration and advice please.  We have a shared circular lawn/turning circle where I live.  We've planted it up with municipal roses in the flower bed and box hedge round the edge (hoping it doesn't get box blight because it wasn't cheap and we had to dig a lot of holes, my husband planted hundreds!).  Anyway we don't know what to do with the cecntral bit.  I want something natural so am thinking an ornamental tree rather than statues or a water fountain, and I'd like something visually interesting, maybe even flowering or nice coloured leaves (although can't clash with the pink roses in the summer).  Also I don't want it to grow too high to spoil the view.  Would love suggestions and inspiration please.  Have attached a pic


Thanks!
