Narrow semi tall tree for the corner of my tiny garden?

[oreo2020]

Hello. I am eradicating a dead bush in the corner of my postage stamp size garden and want to replace with a space saver tree that wouldn't grow too big and would have a foliage at the top so to save the space underneath. It would be also at the border with the neighbours fence so don't want them to have any trouble with having to trim it. I'd love a pine tree. Or a palm tree. Or a fig tree. Think they grow too big or too slowS Or something ever green.
The most suitable Ive seen would be Indian dwarf bean tree.
Any other options you could recommend? Thanks.

Prunus 'Amanogawa' might be nice.

Yew

There's a lovely fastigiate Rowan but I can't remember its name . It just grows upright. With orange berries in winter and very pretty leaves . I think it's called Autumn Spire. Google Fastigiate trees , there's quite a large choice.

Was going to recommend this but couldn't think of the word 'fastigiate'! This or yew would be perfect, and wildlife friendly. The Indian bean trees I've seen are quite spreading- are the dwarf ones definitely tall and thin?

Look up fastigiate trees, they have upright branches that make them narrow and tall. Alternatively a small fruit tree or crab apple that would suit being heavily pruned might work.

I've got an olive tree which is quite tall and skinny in my postage stamp sized garden

A birch. There are types which grow tall and very skinny.

Eucalyptus would fit the bill and you could get a koala

Flagpole cherry blossom

There is an amelanchier for every garden!
Perfect trees for small gardens.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. The flagpole cherry or amanogawa looks nice and probably most suitable for the corner.

Cypress trees are very tall and narrow, very architectural and the ones near me have stayed at 5-6 meters. Great if you want something evergreen.

Spindle Tree https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/british-trees/a-z-of-british-trees/spindle/

On the South coast we had Palm and I think Cordyline, Slow growing though but clear area under a full top. Masked a brick gable end in the next street.

Be very careful getting a eucalyptus. Once in they are hard to get rid of. One my Mum planted is about 30 foot tall.

What do you mean a eucalyptus is hard to get rid of? How is it harder than any other tree?

Columnar Ginkgo?
