Loved by:  Kathy Molnar Simpson of  KMS Gardens and Design  in Chicago Why this tree: Its columnar form maxes out at 5 feet wide when mature, which is great when height is needed in a tight space, Use these trees in front of a house or along a foundation, where they can help balance the scale between the home and lower garden plants.
