A standard Bay, or perhaps a minarette-style fruit tree?

Bay is superb in pots. But wanting height. Thats a trickier one. Why not
a nice birch of some description. Height, pretty slender and if you get
a nice variety an awesome white bark that just begs to be touched.

Nothing I can think of in a 40cm pot will get big enough to give height. Why
not go for a wigwam with climbers instead?

You could make a living willow frame thing. Keep the pot wet and all will be
well. The rods are available at various heights .

How high is 'height'?

A Yucca will grow to at least 6', quite quickly if you feed it well.
