Default Ideas please

I have a large pot in which there is an araucaria at present it is failing
and off to the compost heap but I need ideas for a nice specimen plant that
will survive in the pot which is about 2 foot across. I would prefer tall
rather than prostrate. Acers are out due to the wind.
TIA
Diane
