Hi all,

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.

My suggestion is Acer Palmatum Osakasuki.
It fulfils all your requirements and can be maintained to any height you
require.
If this Acer is not to your liking then try some of the other Acers that are
sun tolerant
