Has anyone any suggestions for something other than a betula of that
eventual height and no more than 2m spread and/or very sparse canopy?
I have also heard of a eucalyptus - Niphophila penduala? - that might
do, if I could find out more about it.

Inge, try these people for Eucalyptus: www.eucalyptus.co.uk
They're very knowledgeable and very good. We sometimes buy things in from
them and before I married Ray they supplied me with about 8 beautifully
healthy plants. There's a huge variety of Eucalypts and you'll surely find
one with lovely bark, too.
