I'd like to plant a small tree of some sort that stays relatively
short but is pretty to look at. The area is outside of my side entrance
which is used as the primary entrance to the house. It's also in front
of the gate to my back yard. I planted a blue spruce in the area 3
years ago but the more I think about it I realize that at some point
that spruce may block entrance to the back yard. The area is about 15
x 15 feet, 30 feet away from the neighbor.
I'll move the spruce elsewhere...
I'm also mindful of keeping the neighbors property clean.

Fruit trees stay (or can be kept) relatively small, but then you have
to deal with the fruit...
A flowering crab might be a possibility. Also, japaenese maple's stay
relatively small.

Japanese Maples are nice but how hardy are they...it's like a wind
tunnel where I need to place the tree.
