Hi,

I need some advice re tree selection.
I am looking for a tree to provide shade / shelter over my driveway.
It will be planted about 1m away from the drive, so I need a height of
3-5m and a spread of around 3m.

Dwarf lilly pilly. Or if you really are anal about your car, a
carport. (no flame intended, I just don't see the point about being
precious about car exteriors).

As it's close to the drive, nothing with huge roots.
Evergreen is preferred, but not essential.
Not really after a native, as they tend to attract birds, and I don't
want them sitting right over my car.
Area is Melb. SE suburbs, north facing so plenty of sun.

All I could suggest would be a fruit tree at those dimensions.
