Default Tree Recommendation

Fu;; sun is described as between 6 to 8 hours of sun a day. Watch the area
your are concerned with and time it and see how close you are to reaching 6
hours. You might consider a full sized cherry, apricot or peach tree also.

I live sort of in between zones 5 and 6 in the lattitude of
Indianapolis, IN, can someone recommend a good tree or shrub that would
fit this description? I want to screen out an eye sore that I see out
a window that is in the 6-12 height range, so i want the tree to get
leafy,dense, & have horizontal growth in that height range, I don't
care if it gets to 25-30 ft, but no higher. I have some rather large
trees near (5-6 ft away) this area that prevent it from getting 100%
sun. I was going to pick a Bradford Pear, but many sites online
recommend it to get full sun. Can it grow well in "spotty off/on" sun?
Any other better suggestions? Thank you.
