I am currently working on a project at work which involves the construction
of a small village square. The area isn't very large (approximately 25m x
25m) but I need to put a tree in the centre. I want a semi-mature specimen
which will make a nice centrepiece but it has to be something fastigious as
there are flats around the square and I don't want to take away too much of
their natural light.

Something which will grow fairly tall (up to, say, 8 metres) with a maximum
total spread of , say, 5 metres would be ideal. Better still would be
something evergreen but I suppose this is asking too much.

I would really appreciate your thoughts.

Ginkgo. Tall, slim, loses it's leaves in winter to let in light to the
surrounding buildings.........

But it grows to 30m and spreads to over 20m, Jenny - he wants something that
stops around 8m height and 5m spread.
