What tree or shrub?
 
Hi,
Is there anyone out there who 's brain i can pick please. Our garden is overlooked and i need to plant a tree or shrub which will fill a gap. It needs to be at least 10feet high and about 6 feet wide, ideally it needs to keep its foliage through the winter but i would compromise on that for something that has an attractive look to it or even better a nice aroma to it so when we sit down near it there is a nice smell. The place it will be planted is a very sunny spot.
Many thanks for any help anyone can give me

Isn't "needs to keep its foliage through the winter" hint enough?

Yes, I will now plant a balsam fir in my 100 degree summers and we
shall see how long it
"keeps it leaves" Don't be foolish.
