"If you're looking for an evergreen that would fit into a smaller landscape,
a good choice would be the Bristlecone Pine (Pinus aristata). Bristlecones
can grow up to 20 feet tall but rarely spread more than 10 feet wide. Their
growth rate is considered slow but they do not require much water so would
be a good choice for a naturalized area in a yard. Bristlecone pines are
well known for surviving in harsh environments and living for many years
without needing much care.

They are distinctive with their gnarled and twisted growth, sticky white
resin on the needles (some people confuse the resin for pine needle scale),
and dark green needles that are displayed in bundles of five. "

Willow is a water hog.
That would definitely be a consideration, since here in Colorado we
often have to conserve water, especially in these recent years of
drought.
Thanks!
