I would go for an evergreen tree that doesn't have a lot of leaf/flower litter. You dont want anything too big, so the size of your choices are just right. There are some quick growing shrubs that grow as tall as a tree and are evergreen. Viburnum comes to mind. I have them as a screening next to a side wall and they are perfect. Silver Birches are lovely trees that look good even in winter, when they have lost their leaves.

it would be effectual to comprehend the place you reside yet with the information I even have i will show you how to already know that many forms of purple jap maple do in contrast to finished sunlight so get a eco-friendly jap maple or an entire sunlight purple kind like trompenburg could be suited. and additionally maximum dogwoods choose partial shade besides kousa dogwood could be a robust dogwood on your sunny area. And as to watering a tree sized plant won't desire watered thrice an afternoon no count number how warm it incredibly is outdoors the floor won't dry that rapid. Water with the help of sticking your finger in the soil every day or 2 and whether it incredibly is dry positioned the hose on a trickle and leave it on the backside of the tree for 10 to 40 minutes different superb timber on your spot could be a redbud or tricolor beech

Tulip tree's get very large and provide wonderful shade in a few short years. It depends on how large of a tree you would like. They are beautiful.

Silver birches are boring, in fact i´m sick of the sight of them. They tend to get blown down easily too.

I don't know all of the trees, what you must find out are the extent of their roots. They can destroy the foundations of your house if they are planted too near the property.
