As for another small tree, how about one of the small snake bark maples?

I should love to, but ....

The problem is the position catches the wind - NOT ideal for maples :-(


Well, don't be to sure! 'Silver Vein' is very tough, maybe the
toughest of the snake barks. It can definitely stand up to some wind!
Not that I'd recommend it for the coast, mind.


Thanks again. That's definitely worth thinking about, then.

Just to be different, what about ilex pyramidalis?
