I vote for the Japanese Maple. I have two, one
red-leaved variety named "Moonfire" and it is
quite an appropriate name. FABULOUS red
foliage and keeps its red all summer (which
most don't - they turn greenish in summer). It
has the added advantage of only maturing to
15' instead of 25' like Bloodgood. Stunning
tree.

I saw one of these walking sticks in a nursery
last week, WOW is all I can
say. What an amazing tree! I'd love to have
one but I'm not sure they'd
survive in Southern California.
And in terms of dwarf trees, what about a
Japanese Maple? I was at a
nursery last week with 150 different kinds of
Japanese Maples and some of
them were gorgeous!

So goes an old chinese proverb:
If you want to be happy for a few hours,

If you want to be happy for a week-end
get married;
If you want to be happy for a week,
barbeque a pig;
If you want to be happy all your life long
become a gardener
