Default Which Tree

The message
from Blairadamwitch contains
these words:

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.


Winter Viburnum. Not evergreen, but over winter, is covered with small
fragrant almond-blossomlike flowers. Doesn't grow huge - as a tree
(grafted on to some Cornus stock or other) it rises to around ten feet,
as a shrub, about the same height, but suckers, to grow as a clump.

Can be pruned viciously.
