I would like to plant a small tree outside my front window for some privacy/screening and possibly a climber to look nice.
Problem being g there is only about 1.2m/4ft of "garden" between my hoise and a footpath so it needs to be a compact tree and not damage walks/footpath
The window is about 80 cm from the ground and 1.5m wide
Hopefully photo attached shows .( not my house but its similar)
I was thinking:
Salix flamingo
Japanese Acer
Dwarf crab apple
Dwarf flowering cherry
And then clematis or jasmine climbing ?
Would any of these cause problems with roots/size?
What about climbers ?
Should i go for one tree in the middle of the window( its wide) or a couple?
Should i balance with one on the other side if the door ( where I'm semi detached?)
