Default Which Tree

Hi,
Looking for advice on a tree to plant in my small front garden.

Don't want anything too expensive and would prefer an evergreen but
I'm flexible. My soil is clay builders junk/rubble.

Anybody have any ideas?

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks



How about a Strawberry tree? I always recommend it, simply because I think
there should be more of them around and I like them. They are also a bit
out of the ordinary and it'd be really unusual if your neighbours already
had one and would stand out a bit.

Failing that, if you are flexibly on evergreen, then you can't really go
wrong with a flowering cherry of some sort. They come in all sizes and are
pretty well suited as a front garden tree.
