Re: Opinion time

When I got mine recently, the nursery owner talked about training the Katsura to grow more upright. He initially used a standard stake, but then switched to PVC pipe to get it up past 8 feet in height. This results in a narrower spread. I am planning to attempt the same.

Weeping Katsura (Cercidiphyllum japonicum 'Pendula'), for my money.
Gorgeous, graceful tree with wonderful fall color - slow grower reaching
15 - 25' tall and 15' wide.  Might be larger than you've envisioning but
it does grow slowly.

Opinion time:

If you could only have ONE weeping tree... which one would it be?

Looking for something that could handle sun, although would be blocked
from the dreaded afternoon stuff here. DH put up a fence corner by the
driveway/sidewalk. Thought a weeping something might look good there, so
don't need it to get humongous.
