Thanks for the suggestions. I must admit I am not overly keen on Monkey
Puzzle but I will take a look at the others.

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.
