A malus floribunda would be in keeping with the "natural"-sounding
site. Or a standard orchard apple looks beautiful in bloom: I don't
really know why people don't use them as ornamentals (too slow for
today's taste, perhaps). Or a self-fertile plum or a damson (you'd
need to change the soil a bit after the fowering cherry, of course). I
love the gnarly shapes mulberries grow into, but I know they make a
mess.

Grown a mulberry from seed, now chopped to five foot and allowed to grow
it's six foot of branches every year.
Would the damson or plum be a bit messy? Would it affect the drains?
