How about a 'telegraph cherry' (Prunus amanagowa) It will need pruning to keep it really narrow but gives a nice display of flowers in early May over quite a long period !! Or, train a camellia into a tall narrow shape, something like Camellia 'Debbie' or 'Preston Rose'. Again, without knowing where you are ?? its not easy.
