Hi
Can anyone suggest a shrub that has a profile a bit like a tree... grows
to 5-6 feet tall, only spreads 2 to 3 feet, and is quite "leggy" or
"trunky" (most interest is found in the top foot or two) ?
Many thanks in advance

Can you tell us if you want deciduous (drops its leaves) or evergreen
growth .. do you want flowers? It's obviously got a specific job to do.
Why does it need to be narrow .. near a gate (with lots of foot
traffic), near an alley (is there a wind tunnel effect). The more you
can tell us, the easier it is to suggest something.
It would also help us to know roughly where you live and what your soil
is like.
