So far I've only come up with forms of Prunus:-

Thanks very much.

I also thought of P. spinosus, which may be a little too broad but,
being a potential hedging plant, it wouldn't sulk if you took a branch
out occasionally. It's also early flowering, so very helpful to bees
and other insects at a difficult time of year, if that's important to you.

I think I'll skip that one - it's a little uncouth for the location!
Sloe is a nice plant, but not an elegant one.

I moved a Phil (Silver showers) many years ago and found it very
stubborn to shift. The roots establish well and are deep. I am a lady
spider, so I would expect to have more trouble than you, but I was young
and fit then. If you don't want it where it is, you *will* be able to
uproot it, but it may sulk if you replant it. Mine wasn't fit for
replanting. Other struggles may vary.

Thanks :-( I may leave it until after flowering and just get rid
of it. I like it, but it's never been a total success.
