all green.

Presuming they fit in with the overall design theme, here are some
possibilities:

Parrotia persica 'Vanessa'
Stewertia pseudocamillia
Styrax japonicus 'Pendula'
Rhus typhina 'Dissecta'
Pyrus callereyana 'Cleveland Select'
Magnolia grandiflora 'Little Gem'
Magnolia virginiana 'Henry Hicks'

hello, we're in zone 7-8 (DC area) and are landscaping around our pool
this year. at the far end, we'd like to put something that would be
our showcase tree (slow growing and not too large(20ft max)) and are
looking for ideas. the area would receive full sun and we plan to
install sprinkler. would appreciate any thoughts to research on.

thanks!
