Default Newbie: Small tree suggestions please

Thanks Pam, I'll have a look at that. Any idea where I could buy it or
should I be able to get one fairly easily?

How about a weeping cotoneaster - I bought one of these last year and I'm
well impressed with it - evergreen, lovely shape, red berries through the
winter, pretty little yellow flowers in spring, no pruning needed.

news As it's summer again, I have decided to take an interest in my small
garden again.

Normally I just cut the grass and be done with it, however this year I
have decided to make an effort ( probably too late since it's July
tomorrow) and try and grow a small tree where my rose stick used to
stand. Yes, stick because that was all there was to it in the six
years I have stayed here.

Anyway, I have dug up and disposed of said stick, but I would now like
to replace it with some sort of small tree. My knowledge of gardening
is minimal to say the least but if someone wants to point me in the
right direction, then I will go away and read up where possible to try
and do something creative with my garden.

I stay in Glasgow and the place where the tree is to go gets the
sunshine in the morning, until the shadow of the buidling puts it in
the shade. Ideally the tree shoulld be fairly small (no more than 3
metres if possible) and fairly hardy as my green fingers haven't
developed too well yet.

If any further iinformation is required I will try my best to provide
it.

Thanks
