They're very beautiful, though ours doesn't have much of a trunk that I've
noticed. The other possible might be a eucalyptus which is kept to the
desired height. There seems to be such a plethora of shapes that there
might be one there to suit.

Care with Eucalptus though - we have lost both ours to recent hard winter
frosts.

Probably OK in southern sheltered areas, but not safe in unsheltered areas
north of Birmingham could be the case.
