Cornus kousa. I just love how the flowers (bracts) stay on for 2 months, how then a
bright red edible fruit develops, and the leaves turn bronze in fall. Ingrid

I'm looking for suggestions for a relatively small tree I'd like to
plant through a deck I intend building at the top of my garden.

The site is north facing, with a reasonable amount of sun, and the soil
has been well cultivated over the years so it's in good condition.

I'm after a smallish tree with as much seasonal interest as possible
(flowers, autumn colour, interesting bark), but one that hasn't got
invasive roots because although it won't be near any buildings it will
be close to the boundary with a neighbour and they have a path that I
don't want to damage.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Tony.
