I've made a terrible terrible mistake and bought a house with a south facing garden. I am now planting trees about the place to create shade.
Currently looking for a small tree (up to 5/6 metres max) for an east border that gets full sun all day. Definitely nothing that gets huge or is particularly thirsty as it's about 5m to the house. I already have a young crab apple nearby, it will sit next to that.
Currently considering an Acer Negundo Flamingo or an Amelanchier Rainbow Pillar. I don't have acid soil (we're actually quite chalky) is my only worry re the latter, yet I am growing an amelanchier obelisk elsewhere in the garden that looks very healthy.
Any other suggestions for quick growing small trees that aren't too fussy and love sunshine?
Thanking you.
