I can't imagine any shrub that will get that tall that does not have a woody
structure. Variegated Dogwoods are really pretty but I don't think they get
that large quickly or at all (they also have some berries) I don't know if
crape myrtle is hardy enough for your area but it would get that tall (it is
woody however).

Shrub tends to rule out the non woody request.
Maybe they should plant castor beans every spring.
