Harry, nyet indeed -- my redbud is at least 30 ft high, and 20 ft wide. Would you like a pair of pink dogwoods? No, they'd probably end up too tall. However, what about a magnolia BUSH, not tree..? They have a multiple base -- I guess I mean a shrub centered base, with many branches growing upwards like a true shrub. Then there's weigelia -- that grows to 6 or 8 ft in height. Rose of Sharon (Althea)..? That would give you height for your Christmas lights.
