I am not a gardener as you can no doubt tell from my question. We have a south facing garden, very little shade. I want a plant that will give a bit of dappled shade but not take up too much space. Some of the plants that are decorative and reasonably tall seem to grow as tall as they are wide. Is it possible to prune them back just to grow upwards a bit more, or is that doomed to failure?
If money were no object I'd get a couple of fully grown, small trees, but that would be far too expensive so I'm thinking some reasonably fast growing shrubs might be the best bet.
