Default Which tree?

Hello.

We want to plant a tree in a 3 foot gap between our greenhouse and a
fence. Because of the restricted location we obviously don't want
anything too big (say 20 foot max). We're also a bit concerned about the
roots undermining the greenhouse foundations. Ideally we want something
with an upright shape so that there aren't too many branches overhanging
the greenhouse.

We are planting a tree to block out the towering brick backdrop of a
neighbour's extension so would really like something evergreen but not a
conifer. Once above the greenhouse, the tree would receive full sun in
all seasons but midwinter.

I really fancy a Eucalyptus but haven't seen any that are small enough.
Are there small varieties that are evergreen? Any other suggestions
please?

Thanks.
